Using electrophysiological recordings and experimental manipulations, I study how ongoing brain oscillations shape the perception of pain. My current work includes intracerebral EEG recordings to examine how oscillatory activity in the human insula relates to sustained thermonociceptive stimulation. In collaboration with the University of Trento (IT), I also explore the link between oscillations and pain from a more causal perspective by modulating cortical excitability with a brain-state-dependent high-frequency rTMS paradigm and assessing its impact on perception and processing of thermonociceptive stimuli.
