Why the study?
Does sustained thermal pain stimulation alter brain rhythmic activity and network connectivity in healthy volunteers?

Noninvasive EEG, specifically contralateral alpha power changes, may provide an objective measure to predict pain intensity and study pain processing mechanisms.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support EEG alpha power as objective pain correlate; leaves open validation in clinical populations.
Zhang et al. (2016) studied this question.
