Cerebral Oscillations of Pain 

 

In the current proposal, we examine the precise brain mechanisms associated with a reliable marker of pain sensitivity and test it against several alternative mechanisms, with the overall goal of understanding the brain networks involved in the pain-alpha relationship and their association with psychosocial and sensory variables.
