The paper examines how mirror-pain synesthetes and non-synesthetes differ in their willingness to help others in pain, using fMRI to link brain activity to donation decisions across different pain-conveying modalities.

The paper uses intracranial recordings to show that the insula encodes pain intensity from different stimuli with distinct spatial and temporal coding patterns.

The paper investigates action-outcome learning in moral conflicts using reinforcement learning models and fMRI, finding that model-based learning explains choices and reveals neural biases in valuing self-gain versus other-pain.

This study uses Bayesian analysis to show that a new HD-tDCS protocol does not reliably modulate somatosensory cortex excitability across participants.
