Psychophysiological and neural bases of fear conditioning and pain processing:

1. The role of the motor system
    Main methodologies: TMS & MEPs | Autonomic responses | Behavioral responses | EEG | Bibliographic

2. The role of pain-related expectations on pain perception: placebo/nocebo effect
    Main methodologies: Autonomic responses | Behavioral responses | Bibliographic

3. The role of individual differences
    Main methodologies: Eye-tracking | Autonomic responses | Bibliographic

4. Modeling pain anticipation using spike neural networks
For students with a computational or engineering background. The thesis will be conducted in collaboration with researchers from the Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Information Engineering "Guglielmo Marconi"

5. Digital twin on pain anticipation using Neural engineering framework
For students with a computational or engineering background. The thesis will be conducted in collaboration with researchers from the Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Information Engineering "Guglielmo Marconi"
