Proportion of correct answers (accuracy) on the body emotion recognition tasks for the active and sham sessions for the three emotional tasks (FLD, PLD, and static bodies) the average of them, and the four presented emotions (anger, fear, happiness, sadness)

	Sham tVNS				Active tVNS
	FLD	PLD	Static	Average	FLD	PLD	Static	Average
Anger	0.92 ± 0.01 (0.66-1)	0.84 ± 0.02 (0.46-1)	0.98 ± 0.01 (0.79-1)	0.90 ± 0.01 (0.65-1)	0.88 ± 0.02 (0.41-1)	0.88 ± 0.02 (0.54-1)	0.98 ± 0.01 (0.79-1)	0.93 ± 0.01 (0.76-1)
Fear	0.96 ± 0.01 (0.75-1)	0.91 ± 0.01 (0.50-1)	0.95 ± 0.01 (0.71-1)	0.94 ± 0.01 (0.74-1)	0.94 ± 0.01 (0.62-1)	0.92 ± 0.01 (0.66-1)	0.95 ± 0.01 (0.46-1)	0.94 ± 0.01 (0.71-1)

Sadness	0.92 ± 0.01 (0.66-1)	0.92 ± 0.01 (0.50-1)	0.97 ± 0.01 (0.66-1)	0.94 ± 0.01 (0.76-1)	0.91 ± 0.01 (0.66-1)	0.89 ± 0.01 (0.54-1)	0.96 ± 0.01 (0.58-1)	0.92 ± 0.01 (0.72-1)

Dispersion measures include standard error of the mean (SEM) and range. Highlighted in bold font: accuracy for angry items was higher under active tVNS compared with sham, whereas the opposite pattern was observed for sadness.
