↵^aSpatial coordinates of local maxima for regions showing activity as a function of outcome presentation (or not) at the moment of curiosity relief. Coordinates correspond to the standard MNI brain. We used a primary voxel threshold of p < 0.001 (uncorrected) and a cluster-level correction of p < 0.05 (FWE).
