Variable Mean difference (TBI vs. Controls) t (1,46) p
L Amygdala − 134.38 − 1.26 ns
R Amygdala − 260.63 − 2.45 < 0.05
L Hippocampus − 415.62 − 2.15 < 0.05
R Hippocampus − 672.31 − 2.95 < 0.01
L Thalamus − 914.87 − 2.20 < 0.05
R Thalamus − 1128.75 − 2.72 < 0.01
SCL − 2.69 − 3.51 < 0.01
BEES − 15.58 − 1.94 < 0.05a
IRI PDS 1.08 0.69 ns
IRI ECS − 0.71 − 0.54 ns

Notes. SCL = skin conductance level; L = left; R = right; BEES = Balanced Emotional Empathy Scale; IRI = Interpersonal Reactivity Index; PDS = Personal Distress Subscale; ECS = Empathic Concern Subscale.
