A novel thermoelectric device integrated with a psychophysical paradigm to study pain processing in human subjects.
Abstract
Cerebral projections of nociceptive stimuli are of great interest as targets for neuromodulation in chronic pain. To study cerebral networks involved in processing noxious stimuli, researchers often rely on thermo-nociception to induce pain. However, various limitations exist in many pain-inducing techniques, such as not accounting for individual variations in pain and trial structure predictability.
