This study compares neural mechanisms of placebo analgesia induced by verbal suggestions and conditioning, finding distinct brain activity patterns and enhanced analgesia when combined.

This study investigates emotional self-other distinction in ASD using behavioral and fMRI methods, finding reduced activation in specific brain regions during emotional bias tasks.

This study investigates whether placebo analgesia affects empathy for pain by examining neural responses to naturalistic depictions of others' pain in a somatotopically matched manner.

This study investigates neural correlates of interpersonal space permeability and flexibility in ASD using fMRI, finding altered brain activity and connectivity associated with preference for larger interpersonal space in ASD.

This study investigates whether placebo analgesia affects the sensory-discriminative component of empathy for pain and finds no evidence of such effects.
