Abstract

Despite recent advances in brain research, understanding the various signals for pain and pain intensities in the brain cortex is still a complex task due to temporal and spatial variations of brain hemodynamics. In this paper we have investigated pain based on cerebral hemodynamics via near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). This study presents a pain stimulation experiment that uses three acupuncture manipulation techniques to safely induce pain in healthy subjects. Acupuncture pain response was presented and hemodynamic pain signal analysis showed the presence of dominant channels and their relationship among surrounding channels, which contribute the further pain research area.
