A Replicable and Generalizable Neuroimaging‐Based Indicator of Pain Sensitivity Across Individuals

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Humans differ in their sensitivity to pain. With six large and diverse fMRI datasets (total N = 1046), this study finds that such individual differences in pain sensitivity can be tracked by fMRI responses to painful stimuli. A highly generalizable machine learning model is further built to predict pain sensitivity across all datasets and analgesic ...
