Automatic pain recognition from Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) signal using machine learning techniques [PDF]
Physiological responses to pain have received increasing attention among researchers for developing an automated pain recognition sensing system. Though less explored, Blood Volume Pulse (BVP) is one of the candidate physiological measures that could help objective pain assessment. In this study, we applied machine learning techniques on BVP signals to

Heat emitting damage in skin: a thermal pathway for mechanical algesia [PDF]
Mechanical pain (or mechanical algesia) can both be a vital mechanism warning us for dangers or an undesired medical symptom important to mitigate. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of the different mechanisms of this type of pain is paramount. In this work, we study the tearing of porcine skin in front of an infrared camera, and show that mechanical

Equine Pain Behavior Classification via Self-Supervised Disentangled Pose Representation [PDF]
Timely detection of horse pain is important for equine welfare. Horses express pain through their facial and body behavior, but may hide signs of pain from unfamiliar human observers. In addition, collecting visual data with detailed annotation of horse behavior and pain state is both cumbersome and not scalable.

Reproducibility and reliability of pressure algometry: are digital and analogue devices comparable?
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Digital and analogue algometry have been widely employed in clinical studies, but a recent investigation observed a systematic error between devices, which may hinder comparison of data from different studies.

Transformer Encoder with Multiscale Deep Learning for Pain Classification Using Physiological Signals [PDF]
Pain is a serious worldwide health problem that affects a vast proportion of the population. For efficient pain management and treatment, accurate classification and evaluation of pain severity are necessary. However, this can be challenging as pain is a subjective sensation-driven experience.

Pain sensitivity and observer perception of pain in individuals with autistic spectrum disorder [PDF]
The peer-reviewed literature investigating the relationship between pain expression and perception of pain in individuals with ASD is sparse. The aim of the present systematic PRIMSA review was twofold: first, to see what evidence there is for the widely
