Whole-brain positive correlates of intensity and pleasantness. BOLD activation predicted by intensity and pleasantness ratings were thresholded at Z > 3 with whole-brain correction for multiple comparisons at the cluster level (p < 0.01). A, Intensity ratings collected during the fMRI brushing task significantly predicted BOLD response in right S1, right posterior insula, and bilateral S2. B, Pleasantness ratings significantly predicted BOLD response in the ACC. x, y, and z refer to the MNI coordinates corresponding to the left–right, anterior–posterior, and inferior–superior axes, respectively; R = L.
