We develop a sensitive method for non-invasive spinal cord recordings in humans that is suitable for neuroscience experiments and show with it 1) integration processes at cervical and lumbar level and 2) for the first time direct recordings to pain stimuli (laser-evoked potentials).

A multichannel electrophysiological approach to noninvasively and precisely record human spinal cord activity
Whilst spinal recording techniques are routinely developed for use in experimental animals, methods to interrogate human spinal cord function are lacking. These authors develop a non-invasive electros...
