We are proud to launch what we think is going to be fantastic opportunity for pain neuroscientists and clinicians to learn the foundations of pain neuroscience

Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences@ndcnoxford.bsky.social · 10mo ago

September is #PainAwarenessMonth, and we are excited to be launching our brand-new MSc in Pain Neurosciences. Could you help shape the future of #pain research? Opening soon for 2026 admissions 👀 Learn more 👇 bit.ly/OxMScPain

We're looking for a senior project coordinator in Oxford - apply by friday eng.ox.ac.uk/jobs/job-det...

We're proud to share that @mehranahmadlou.bsky.social, Senior Research Fellow at SWC, will join @oxforddpag.bsky.social as a Group Leader. His new lab will study the neural basis of flexible behaviour and its relevance for neuropsychiatric disorders. www.sainsburywellcome.org/web/research...

Phasic and tonic pain serve distinct functions during adaptive behaviour https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.10.637253v1

The first study from my postdoc is now up as a preprint 👏🏻 we combined #EEG and #VR in a cool task (feat. 🦊) finding that lateralised ongoing pain affects predictive responses to phasic pain on the same side of the body. #Neuroskyence #cogsci #AcademicSky #PainResearch @benosaka.bsky.social

New to Blueksy so wanted to introduce myself - I'm a Psychology researcher broadly interested in body representation, multisensory perception, action, pain and sensation. I use a lot of VR and hand-tracking in my work - here's my most recent creation, of some very distorted embodied VR hands!
