Visually induced analgesia: seeing the body reduces pain [PDF]
, 2009 Given previous reports of strong interactions between vision and somatic senses, we investigated whether vision of the body modulates pain perception. Participants looked into a mirror aligned with their body midline at either the reflection of their own

Linking pain and the body: neural correlates of visually induced analgesia [PDF]
, 2012 The visual context of seeing the body can reduce the experience of acute pain, producing a multisensory analgesia. Here we investigated the neural correlates of this “visually induced analgesia” using fMRI.
