Neurocognitive aspects of pain perception
The perception of pain is sensitive to various mental processes such as the feelings and
beliefs that someone has about pain. It is therefore not exclusively driven by the noxious input. …

Anterior insula integrates information about salience into perceptual decisions about pain
The decision as to whether a sensation is perceived as painful does not only depend on
sensory input but also on the significance of the stimulus. Here, we show that the degree to …
