This study tests two models of effort perception by manipulating central motor command and afferent feedback, finding that central motor command is necessary for effort perception.

This study investigates whether contralateral thermal heat pain affects corticospinal and intracortical excitability, finding no reduction and instead increased corticospinal excitability, with perceived effort linked to pain experience rather than neural inhibition.

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.

This meta-analysis examines the effect of pharmacologically blocking muscle afferents on perceived effort during exercise, finding mixed results depending on how effort was measured.
