Functional Neuroimaging of Pain Using EEG and fMRI

Completed

Conditions studied: Sickle Cell Disease

In brief

The purpose of this research is to use non-invasive imaging technologies to study how the human brain processes pain. The investigators will use contact heat to induce pain and record data scalp EEG and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). What the investigators learn from this study will help us gain insights in pain management with broad socioeconomic impacts
