Note. Coordinates represent locations of peak voxels (cf. [26]) as centers for the construction of spherical masks with radius 8 mm. Due to overlapping spheres in the primary motor and primary somatosensory feet areas, the coordinates of the x-axis were slightly modified from originally 6 to 9 (right) and −6 to −9 (left) in M1 and 10 to 9 (right) and −10 to −9 (left) in S1, respectively. M1, primary motor cortex; S1, primary somatosensory cortex; MNI, Montreal Neurological Institute space; ROI, region of interest.
