Left: Overlap of (i) activation during verbal initiation of suggestion for pain (InitPain; yellow), (ii) correlation across subjects between the activation strengths during InitPain and the subsequent intensity of suggestion‐induced pain (SuggPain; red), and (iii) correlation across subjects between the activation strengths during InitPain and activation strengths in the global maximum of SuggPain‐related activation in the contralateral second somatosensory (SII) cortex [blue; x = 52, y = −30, z = 26; Raij et al., 2005]. Middle: Correlation between activation strengths of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) during InitPain and the intensity of SuggPain (r = 0.66 at x = 40, y = 32, z = 26). Right: Correlation between activation strengths of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during InitPain and activation strengths in the global maximum of the SuggPain‐related activation in the contralateral second somatosensory cortex (r = 0.80 at x = 28, y = 32, z= 34).
