Brain regions showing significantly higher activation in the alpha band at post-rest than at pre-rest for hand and foot massage (n = 12).

Type of Massage	Brain Region	BA	MNI Coordinates	p-Value
			(x, y, z)
Hand	Insular cortex	13	35, 0, 15	<0.05
Foot	Left posterior cingulate cortex	31	10, −70, 15	<0.05
	Right posterior cingulate cortex	31	−10, −75, 20	<0.05
