tonic pain stimulation TASK
Unreviewed

A long pain stimulus (usually more than 20 seconds) is applied to the skin and the participant gives continuous ratings on a visual analogue scale. Pain can be induced with thermal (hot/cold), electrical, chemical or mechanical stimuli.

Experimental conditions are the subsets of an experiment that define the relevant experimental manipulation.

CONTRASTS
Pain versus No Pain(edit)

In the Cognitive Atlas, we define a contrast as any function over experimental conditions. The simplest contrast is the indicator value for a specific condition; more complex contrasts include linear or nonlinear functions of the indicator across different experimental conditions.

INDICATORS
physiological measures (heart rate, skin conductance, regional cerebral blood flow, blood pressure, etc.)
o Continuous ratings on a visual analogue scale

An indicator is a specific quantitative or qualitative variable that is recorded for analysis. These may include behavioral variables (such as response time, accuracy, or other measures of performance) or physiological variables (including genetics, psychophysiology, or brain imaging data).
