MNI coordinates, peak activation, and volume percentage of FA change are given along with the significance threshold estimate. Results revealed by paired t-test between the FA maps before and after the training. SI—primary somatosensory cortex, SII—secondary somatosensory cortex, LP—lateral-posterior; L—left, R—right hemisphere. T-values of the peak activations, p < 0.05 (correction for multiple comparisons at cluster level, Family Wise Error), and extent threshold k for an appropriate comparison is indicated in the table.
