}The perception of pain is characterized by its tremendous intra- and interindividual variability. Different individuals perceive the very same painful event largely differently. Here, we aimed to predict the individual pain sensitivity from brain activity. We repeatedly applied identical painful stimuli to healthy human subjects and recorded brain activity by using electroencephalography (EEG). We applied a multivariate pattern analysis to the time-frequency transformed single-trial EEG…

Results show that the proposed normalization strategy can effectively reduce the inter-individual variability in pain-evoked responses, and the two-stage pain prediction method can lead to a higher prediction accuracy.

For the first time it was found that the pre-stimulus EEG oscillation could significantly contribute to the prediction, which extended the notion of the determinants of pain perception.
Neural indicators of perceptual variability of pain across species
- Psychology, BiologyProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 2019
It is demonstrated that brain oscillations in the gamma band [gamma-band event-related synchronization (γ-ERS)] sampled by central electrodes reliably predict pain sensitivity across individuals, and that graded neural activity related to within-subject variability should be minimized to accurately investigate the relationship between nociceptive-evoked neural activities and painensitivity across individuals.

Results show that the proposed normalization strategy can effectively reduce the inter-individual variability in pain-evoked responses and lead to a higher prediction accuracy.
A Novel Approach to Objectively Quantify the Subjective Perception of Pain Through Electroencephalogram Signal Analysis
- PsychologyIEEE Access
- 2020
This study integrated signal processing techniques and machine learning principles to learn brain signals associated with pain and classify them into one of four pain intensities and found that the signal processing revealed a direct correlation between Alpha frequency band power and the pain intensity, and the classifier could achieve an accuracy of 94.83%.

It is concluded that theta responses reflect rather constant physiological and psychological traits of the individual, whereas gamma responses relate to short-term modulations of theindividual's state.
Determinants of laser-evoked EEG responses: pain perception or stimulus saliency?
- BiologyJournal of neurophysiology
- 2008
It is shown that increasing the temporal expectancy of the stimulus through stimulus repetition at a constant interstimulus interval significantly reduces the magnitudes of the laser-evoked N1, N2, P2, and ERS responses and disrupts the relationship between the intensity of pain perception and the magnitude of these responses.
Attention to Painful Stimulation Enhances γ-Band Activity and Synchronization in Human Sensorimotor Cortex
- Biology, PsychologyThe Journal of Neuroscience

It is concluded that pain-induced high-frequency activity in sensorimotor areas may reflect an attentional augmentation of processing, leading to enhanced saliency of pain-related signals and thus to more efficient processing of this information by downstream cortical centers.

The results show that a focally applied brief painful stimulus globally suppresses spontaneous oscillations in somatosensory, motor and visual areas and shows that pain induces a widespread change in cortical function and excitability.
Gamma Oscillations in Human Primary Somatosensory Cortex Reflect Pain Perception

It is shown that selective nociceptive stimuli induce gamma oscillations in primary somatosensory cortex that are particularly related to the subjective perception of pain, and this findings support the hypothesis that Gamma oscillations arerelated to the internal representation of behaviorally relevant stimuli that should receive preferred processing.
