Restoration of Reduced Self-Efficacy Caused by Chronic Pain through Manipulated Sensory Discrepancy [PDF]

Spontaneous back-pain alters randomness in functional connections in large scale brain networks: A random matrix perspective [PDF]
We use randomness as a measure to assess the impact of evoked pain on brain networks. Randomness is defined here as the intrinsic correlations that exist between different brain regions when the brain is in a task-free state. We use fMRI data of three brain states in a set of back pain patients monitored over a period of 6 months.
