Pleasantness (VAS) ratings for each CT-optimal and non-optimal velocity (0, 5 and 30 cm/s) for each of the 3 brain regions (mPFC, S1 and vertex) for other-directed touch. cTBS over mPFC selectively decreased touch pleasantness for touch to other, compared to inhibition of mPFC and vertex. This effect was not specific for touch delivered at CT-optimal velocities. Error bars indicate SEM over participants *P < 0.05.
