From language to pain: brain-behavior representations of hypnotic verbal suggestions for pain modulation

This study investigates how hypnotic verbal suggestions for pain modulation are encoded in the brain and how individual suggestibility affects neural responses during pain processing.

Facing pain is effortful: key role of the supplementary motor area and anterior midcingulate cortex

This study uses fMRI to investigate how brain regions like the supplementary motor area and anterior midcingulate cortex contribute to effort perception during pain and task performance.

A distributed brain response predicting the facial expression of acute nociceptive pain

This study uses fMRI to show that existing pain neurosignatures cannot predict facial pain expressions, introducing a new FEPS that specifically captures the brain response to nociceptive pain.
