Variations in thermal sensations were analyzed for the independent effects of skin location (17 levels) and thermal quality (2 levels, warm vs. cold stimulus) by means of two-way repeated measures ANOVA. To facilitate the comparison between warm and cold sensations, sensation data were transformed to fit a range of 0-100, where 0 corresponded to Neutral and 100 to Very Cold/Very Hot. In the event of statistically significant main effects or interactions, post hoc analyses were conducted with Sidak’s tests. Software- or Instrument-specific information needed to interpret the data, including software and hardware version numbers: Statistical analysis was performed using Prism, version 9.0 (GraphPad Software Inc., La Jolla, CA, USA). Standards and calibration information, if appropriate: Environmental/experimental conditions: Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: Physiological and perceptual data were tested for normality of distribution (Shapiro-Wilk test). People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission: AV, AB, DF, and PW conceived and designed the research. CM, HB, and JW collected the experimental data. AV analyzed the data and drafted the manuscript. All authors revised the manuscript for intellectual content and approved the submitted version. -------------------------- DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION -------------------------- Number of variables: comparisons= 561 Number of cases/rows: 1134 Variable list, defining any abbreviations, units of measure, codes or symbols used: Variations in thermal sensations were analyzed for the independent effects of skin location (17 levels) and thermal quality (2 levels, warm vs. cold stimulus) Missing data codes:n.a.
