Warning of workers in dangerous situations is crucial. With the aim of deriving practical parameters for an electrocutaneous warning stimulation, we explore the design dimensions of pulse intervals, amplitudes, and locations of electrocutaneous stimulation in a study on healthy volunteers. Using biphasic rectangular current pulses on the upper right arm of 81 healthy participants, they evaluated temporal perception with varying intervals, ranging from 200 ms down to 0.

Habituation to bodily sensations is highly relevant for the experience of chronic bodily symptoms, but the neural mechanisms behind diminished habituation are currently unclear. One potentially relevant mechanism is neural gating (NG), reflected as the short-term suppression of cortical responses to redundant stimuli. We investigated the effects of repeated exposure to aversive sensations on NG and subjective perception in 91 healthy adults, by measuring their NG of respiratory and electrocutaneous stimuli using electroencephalography during two sessions separated by one week, in addition to their self-report of intensity and unpleasantness of the sensations.

Introduction: The prevailing theories of consciousness consider the integration of different sensory stimuli as a key component for this phenomenon to rise on the brain level. Despite many theories and models have been proposed for multisensory integration between supraliminal stimuli (e.g.

The attentional bias literature has consistently failed to take context into account. We developed a novel paradigm in immersive virtual reality (VR) with pain stimuli where it would be adaptive or nonadaptive to attend to the stimuli. Participants had to indicate the location of the stimuli.

Nocebo hyperalgesia is a pervasive problem in which the treatment context triggers negative expectations that exacerbate pain. Thus, developing ethical strategies to mitigate nocebo hyperalgesia is crucial. Emerging research suggests that choice has the capacity to reduce nocebo side effects, but choice effects on nocebo hyperalgesia have not been explored.
