  1. Non-zero regression coefficients naturally delineate the predictive sub-network. Regions and corresponding large-scale resting-state network (RSN) modules are to be interpreted as in the MIST atlas (see Methods, original atlas-index is given). Predictive connections are ordered by their absolute predictive weights. Connectivity strengths associated with higher and lower sensitivity to pain are highlighted in red and blue, respectively. For bootstrapping-based 95% confidence intervals and the p-values with conditional coverage, see Supplementary Table 4
