New paper in EBioMedicine! We analyzed EEG from 614 people with chronic pain across 5 countries. Standard EEG biomarkers didn’t replicate, but network connectivity (esp. theta) shows promise. Open access: tinyurl.com/yc599257

Imaging and recording technologies make it possible to map multiple biological features of the brain. How can these features be conceptually integrated into a coherent understanding of brain structure and function? ⤵️

It's finally here! Use the Network Correspondence Toolbox to help contextualize your neuroimaging findings 🧠
A network correspondence toolbox for quantitative evaluation of novel neuroimaging results - Nature Communications
Here, the authors present the Network Correspondence Toolbox, which enables researchers to examine and report spatial correspondence between their neuroimaging results and widely used brain atlases.

Can brain activity predict pain sensitivity? Our new study tested whether peak alpha frequency (PAF) predicts brief experimental pain in 159 participants. Using preregistered multiverse analyses, we found no consistent evidence for this link. journals.lww.com/pain/fulltex...
Assessing the predictive value of peak alpha frequency for... : PAIN
eak alpha frequency (PAF) is, thus, discussed as a potential biomarker and novel target for neuromodulatory treatments of pain. Here, we scrutinized the generalizability of the relation between PAF an...
