Cortex areas involved in the processing of normal and altered pain

B Bromm, E Scharein, C Vahle-Hinz - 2000 - Elsevier
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on source analyses from simultaneously
measured electroencephalography and magnetoencephalography signals with respect to
pain. The specific approach used in the chapter is the application of individual magnetic
resonance imaging scans in the course of the brain source computations, presetting the
space for mathematical solutions by the subject's head morphology. Phasic pain is induced
by brief radiant heat pulses from an infrared thulium laser stimulator or by intracutaneously …
