S1 activation rendered on T1 axial images for control group analysis (S1 localizer) and single-subject analysis (patients). The gentle tactile stimulation in the dominant hand elicits a contralateral S1 activation in the group analysis (S1 localizer). Single-subject analyses reveal that the gentle tactile stimulation elicits a unilateral S1 contralateral activation pattern for both nondominant (red) and dominant (grey) hands (patients).
