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

This paper introduces a novel method to remove muscle artefacts from EEG data, improving gamma band signal quality by preserving task-relevant cortical activity.

This study investigates brain activity changes during migraine cycles, finding cyclic perfusion in the limbic circuit and hypothalamic connectivity shifts, suggesting the hypothalamus drives migraine attacks by losing control over the limbic system.

The paper shows that effective pain attenuation strategies are linked to increased whole brain functional connectivity and specific white matter integrity.
