Projectomschrijving
 

I want to investigate the variety os somatosensory responses towards observing pain in others ranging from the detection of somatic sensations, over the modulation of noxious input to the experience of pain synaesthesia by means of an experimental paradigm. As a recent provided model of pain synaesthesia has remained untested, I want to investigate the underlying processes and conditions.
