Thanks for raising this important question. As far as our approach has allowed to assess such effects, we haven’t found any systematic country differences

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

Integrating and interpreting brain maps | doi.org/10.1016/j.ti...

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? ⤵️

This is a landmark study. Thanks for sharing, congratulations.

Thanks for your positive comment. At the current stage, I consider the study a basic insight rather than something that is clinically useful. However, I think the methods including the multiverse analysis can inspire future studies further exploring biomarker candidates of pain, including PAF.

Thanks for sharing these insights. What do you think about the authors' reply to your comment?

It's finally here! Use the Network Correspondence Toolbox to help contextualize your neuroimaging findings 🧠

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...

We offer two PhD positions in Pain Neuroscience and Non-invasive neuromodulation. The positions are at the PainLabMunich (painlabmunich.de) and will be part of the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network FRESCO4NoPain. See www.cnap.hst.aau.dk/fresco4nopai... for details.

📣 ✨Excited about our latest work in Patterns (Cell Press): GREEN a light-weight #NeuralNetwork with Riemannian Geometry + learnable wavelets for #EEG #biomarkers: doi.org/10.1016/j.pa... Joint work with @jpaillard.bsky.social & Jörg Hipp! Thread 🧵👇🏻👇🏾👇

We share a new publication: "Effects of Centrally Acting Analgesics on Resting-State Electroencephalography Biomarker Candidates of Chronic Pain." The results provide evidence against effects of centrally acting analgesics on EEG biomarker candidates of pain. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

EEG biomarkers of chronic pain? A new paper investigating a novel EEG measure in 149 people with chronic pain. Highest standards of open and reproducible science, including specification curve analysis as a kind of multiverse analysis. doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

We are excited to share our first #RegisteredReport on EEG-based #Neurofeedback for modulating pain, published in @plosbiology.org. We were successful in modulating alpha oscillations but not in modulating pain. dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...
