Intraclass class correlation coefficients (ICC) for tactile and painful stimulation calculated for thresholded and unthresholded analysis methods within contralateral brain regions

ICCs approaching one indicated high within subject reproducibility. P‐values < 0.05 indicate ICCs that are significantly different from zero (i.e., good reproducibility) and the gray‐shaded boxes designate ICCs deemed reproducible. Negative ICC values indicate that there is more variability within subjects than between subjects, and are therefore not reproducible. To emphasize the apparent advantage of the unthresholded analysis technique over the thresholded method the average ICCs for tactile and painful stimulation are displayed in the bottom row. (cROI, contralateral region of interest; S1, primary somatosensory; S2, secondary somatosensory cortices).
