Note: The ROIs is defined as empathy‐related and pain brain‐related regions from the meta‐analytical database of NeuroSynth. Peak coordinates refer to the MNI space.
Abbreviations: L, left hemisphere; MNI, Montreal Neurological Institute; NP, neutral pictures; PP, pain pictures; R, right hemisphere; ROIs, regions of interest.
