Cell entries denote the proportion of studies where activation in that region was identified. The cell entries of the Kruskal‐Wallis ANOVA and Cochran Q (in italic) refer to the significance level P of these tests. Additional Kruskal‐Wallis tests reveal that the left and right TPJ activations do not differ for each of the tasks listed.
