Spectral Activity
01
How neural oscillations change across frequency bands.
We examine changes in band power and spectral distribution across pain states and intensities.
Connectivity
02
How activity across brain regions changes together.
We examine how neural signals coordinate across regions and whether those relationships shift with pain.
Signal Complexity
03
How the structure and variability of neural activity change.
We examine changes in signal variability, entropy, and temporal complexity associated with pain.
Change Over Time
04
How neural activity evolves as pain changes.
We compare EEG across baseline, pain, intervention, and recovery to study how neural patterns change within the same person.
No EEG Feature Defines Pain Alone.
EEG captures electrical activity at the scalp with millisecond-level temporal resolution. We study that activity across four complementary domains to investigate which neural patterns are associated with changes in pain.
