The experience of pain is a ubiquitous experience, and persistent pain is common and causes enormous personal and societal burden. Anyone who has been in severe pain will understand that pain captures attention, but the role that attention plays in increasing pain perception is poorly understood. This project will test a new conceptual model that calls for a change in the paradigm underlying research into attention and pain. We will use novel experimental tasks in virtual reality environments to address these important gaps in our knowledge. The project will significantly advance our fundamental understanding of the role of attention in pain perception and pave the way for translational research to reduce the substantial burden pain causes.

疼痛的体验是一种无处不在的体验，持续的疼痛是常见的，并造成巨大的个人和社会问题。 社会负担。任何一个经历过剧烈疼痛的人都会明白疼痛会吸引注意力，但是注意力在 对增加的疼痛感知知之甚少。该项目将测试一个新的概念模型，该模型要求改变关注和疼痛研究的基本范式。我们将在虚拟现实环境中使用新的实验任务来解决 这些重要的知识空白该项目将大大促进我们对以下问题的基本理解： 注意力在疼痛感知中的作用，并为转化研究铺平道路，以减少疼痛引起的实质性负担。
