Brain areas were derived from the multisubject conjunction analyses, thresholded at a corrected P < 0.05. Voxels are reported as 1 × 1 × 1 mm3. aIC, anterior insula; mIC, mid‐insula; pIC, posterior insula; pACC, pregenual anterior cingulate cortex; aMCC, anterior mid‐cingulate cortex; pMCC, posterior mid‐cingulate cortex; S1, primary somatosensory cortex; S2, secondary somatosensory cortex; R, right; L, left.
