  • Activated clusters of variables were observed by voxel-wise GLM analysis of BOLD signals during the decision phase. p < 0.05, FWE corrected by permutation testing with whole-brain voxels (cluster-defining threshold: p < 0.001, otherwise detailed in Notes a and b). Activations by a voxel-wise contrast for main trials versus control-choice trials were obtained [FWE-corrected p < 0.05, for which an uncorrected p = 0.005 was first used and then corrected within the union of activation maps (logical “OR”) between main and control-choice trials]. No cluster survived for the contrast of main trial > control-choice trial for self-reward probability. The stereotaxic coordinates are in Talairach space.

  • ↵a Corrected p = 0.004, FWE corrected within activation maps for self-decision values in control-choice trials, uncorrected p = 0.005.

  • ↵b The corrected p values reported in this table were based on the FWE correction within the corresponding ROIs of activations in control-choice trials (uncorrected p = 0.01). If corrected within the activation map for self-reward probability in control-choice trials, we have corrected p = 0.016, 0.100, 0.040, and 0.042 for each cluster.
