Cerebral projections of nociceptive stimuli are of great interest as targets for neuromodulation in chronic pain. To study cerebral networks involved in processing noxious stimuli, researchers often rely on thermo-nociception to induce pain. However, various limitations exist in many pain-inducing t...
