Pain biomarkers can't prove or disprove someone's pain, but that doesn't make them futile. My comment in Nat Neurosci argues for a pluralistic, bio-psycho-social approach: biomarkers as complementary channels, not replacements for patient voice. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Towards a holistic understanding of pain in the biomarker age - Nature Neuroscience

Pain biomarkers cannot prove or disprove another person’s pain, but they need not be rejected as futile or reductionist. When developed within a bio-psycho-social framework and guided by epistemic hum...

Super proud of this collaboration with rockstar Ryan Raut - born out of playing in the sandbox in our last year of grad school! Multi-scale brain activity can be predicted from a simple measure of arousal like pupil diameter. Out with linear causality, in with dynamic systems to explain neurobiology

Arousal as a universal embedding for spatiotemporal brain dynamics - Nature

Reframing of arousal as a latent dynamical system can reconstruct multidimensional measurements of large-scale spatiotemporal brain dynamics on the timescale of seconds in mice.

Hi, I’m very pleased to share the preprint of my first project with my PI @choongwanwoo.bsky.social and amazing collaborators Seok-Jun Hong and E.A.R. Losin. Here we examined the behavioral and neural dynamics of pain as a continuous integration process (1/8) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
