The paper investigates how attention and pain localization influence the balance between lateral inhibition and spatial facilitation in pain processing, finding that facilitation is modulated by attention and perceived pain maximum location.

This study investigates pain radiation in humans using psychophysical experiments, finding that pain spreads beyond the stimulated area, with greater spread in hairy skin and longer durations, independent of pain intensity.

The paper investigates how attention affects spatial summation of pain by comparing different attention conditions in a cold-water immersion experiment.

This study compares pain perception and brain responses in adolescent and adult females, finding greater pain sensitivity and distinct neural activation patterns in adolescents.

This study compares FIX and CompCor noise-reduction techniques in fMRI datasets, finding that FIX better conserves signal while removing similar amounts of noise during both noxious and non-noxious stimulations.

This study finds no difference in pain sensitivity between obese and healthy weight individuals, suggesting obesity may not increase susceptibility to chronic pain through heightened nociception.

The paper examines individual differences in pain perception and finds no brain activation differences linked to reported pain intensity, despite BOLD signal sensitivity to stimulus intensity within individuals.
