To date, fMRI research has been concerned primarily with evincing generic principles of
brain function through averaging data from multiple subjects. Given rapid developments in …

Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience. Understanding the neural
mechanisms of acute and chronic pain and the brain changes affecting pain factors is …

Identifying biomarkers that predict mental states with large effect sizes and high test-retest
reliability is a growing priority for fMRI research. We examined a well-established …

The default mode network (DMN) has been proposed as a biomarker for several chronic
pain conditions. Default mode network functional connectivity (FC) is typically examined …

Objectives: Numerous neuroimaging techniques have been recently used to investigate
central mechanisms involved in pain perception and to examine morphological and …

Recent studies have posited that machine learning (ML) techniques accurately classify
individuals with and without pain solely based on neuroimaging data. These studies claim …

The objective of this study was to comprehensively investigate patterns of brain activities
associated with pain recovery following experimental tonic pain in humans. Specific …

μ-Opioid receptor agonists are widely used within the contemporary treatment of pain, but
abrupt opioid suspension, even after short-term infusion, can paradoxically increase the …

Currently, there is no method for providing a nonverbal objective assessment of pain.
Recent work using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has revealed its potential …

Test-retest reliability, or reproducibility of results over time, is poorly established for
functional brain connectivity (fcMRI) during painful stimulation. As reliability informs the …
