The paper analyzes fMRI data to dissociate objective and subjective aspects of pain processing by examining dynamic network activity during continuous heat pain exposure.

The paper analyzes how intrinsic brain network activity fluctuates with pain intensity in chronic pain patients using fMRI and identifies specific network changes associated with different pain states.

The paper examines functional connectivity changes across the migraine cycle, finding increased connectivity in the prodromal phase and its collapse during headache, suggesting a mechanism for normalizing cortical processing.

The paper investigates whether affective or cognitive processes drive cortical encoding of pain, finding a stronger link between cortical data and unpleasantness ratings than intensity ratings.
