Neurodesk provides a portable and reproducible neuroimaging analysis platform using software containers to enable accessible and flexible data analysis pipelines.

The paper uses fMRI and representational similarity analysis to map cortical representations of paraspinal sensory input, finding a dermatomal organization in sensorimotor cortices.

The paper maps cortical representations of paraspinal afferents using fMRI and vibrotactile stimulation, finding topographic differences between high- and low-frequency stimulation and upper/lower back regions.

The paper uses machine learning to analyze neural patterns in chronic low back pain patients to investigate differences between pain-related fear constructs.

The paper investigates brain activity and connectivity during pain and its relief using fMRI in humans, confirming the role of the operculo-insular region and identifying functional connectivity patterns.
