FIGURE 1.

Brainstem areas where the neural activity increased in response to proprioceptive stimuli. Statistical parametric map for the conjunction (passive–rest) AND (active–rest) masked exclusively with (touch–rest) is visualised for the whole brainstem above the voxel‐level threshold p < .001, uncorrected for multiple comparisons (blue). To illustrate the specificity of these results for the left side of the brainstem, the threshold for visualisation here was lower than the threshold for statistical significance for the activation peaks listed in Table 1 (p < .05 corrected for multiple comparisons). Areas that responded to both active eye movements and passive EOMs stretch (blue) are overlaid on those that were significantly activated by active eye movements alone (red, visualised for the whole brainstem above the threshold of p < .05 corrected for multiple comparisons using family‐wise error for the entire brainstem). For anatomical localisation, statistical parametric maps are overlaid on the MNI152 (ICBM) template. Activity peaks are shown in three orthogonal projections: Sagittal (top left), coronal (top right) and transversal (bottom) at the level of the (a) superior colliculus, (b) oculomotor nucleus and (c) abducens nucleus. The crosshair in each panel indicates these nuclei
