Reports Outline Clinical Neurophysiology Study Findings from University of Lyon (An Approach To the Detection of Pain From Autonomic and Cortical Correlates).

A recent study conducted at the University of Lyon in France explored the use of brain and autonomic measures to detect pain perception. The study involved 20 healthy individuals who received painful stimulation through electrical stimuli and immersion in cold water, as well as non-painful immersion in warmer water and stressful cognitive testing. The researchers found that combining changes in cortical and autonomic reactivities was crucial in accurately determining acute pain perception. The study highlights the potential of using electrophysiological features and machine learning techniques to improve pain detection. [Extracted from the article]
