Neural Correlates of Music-Induced Hypoalgesia
This webinar presents recent findings on music-induced hypoalgesia, integrating behavioral and neuroimaging evidence. Elise Desbarats will share results from a recent fMRI study comparing music, scrambled music, and silence, and discuss how neuroimaging approaches can advance mechanistic understanding of how music influences pain.
Elise Desbarats is a PhD student in the Roy Pain Lab at McGill University. Her research examines the behavioral and neural mechanisms underlying music-induced hypoalgesia using experimental and neuroimaging methods. In this webinar, Elise will present recent work integrating behavioral findings with new fMRI data comparing music, scrambled music, and silence to examine how music modulates pain. She will discuss how experimental designs help disentangle emotional and attentional effects and how neuroimaging approaches can advance mechanistic understanding of music–pain interactions.
