Human fMRI signals exhibit a spatial patterning that contains detailed information about a
person's mental states. Using classifiers it is possible to access this information and study …

Neurological insults, such as congenital blindness, deafness, amputation, and stroke, often
result in surprising and impressive behavioural changes. Cortical reorganisation, which …

In this article, we describe the mathematical framework of the computational model at the
core of the tool The Virtual Brain (TVB), designed to simulate collective whole brain …

Current theories suggest that physical pain and social rejection share common neural
mechanisms, largely by virtue of overlapping functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) …

Understanding how humans represent others' pain is critical for understanding pro-social
behavior.'Shared experience'theories propose common brain representations for somatic …

Human MRI scanners at ultra-high magnetic field strengths of 7 T and higher are
increasingly available to the neuroscience community. A key advantage brought by ultra …

Cognitive self-regulation can strongly modulate pain and emotion. However, it is unclear
whether self-regulation primarily influences primary nociceptive and affective processes or …

Cerebral processes contribute to pain beyond the level of nociceptive input and mediate
psychological and behavioural influences. However, cerebral contributions beyond …

Considerable information about mental states can be decoded from noninvasive measures
of human brain activity. Analyses of brain activity patterns can reveal what a person is …

Pain empathy can be evoked by multiple cues, particularly observation of acute pain
inflictions or facial expressions of pain. Previous studies suggest that these cues commonly …
