Pain Perception Research Paper
The physical and psychological factors of nociception and pain perception in humans: A review.
University of Vermont
The direct experience of pain is often defined via the conscious, as the degree to which we feel pain is based purely on psychological perception. There is, however, a physical component to pain, as pain perception relies on a stimulus and the transmission of the signal this stimulus produces. Inclusively, the transmission of signals following stimuli and the resulting sensory activity is known as nociception (FURST, 1999). Pain perception refers to the conscious processing and interpreting of these signals (BALDO, 1999). Recent advances in functional brain imaging and anatomical methods in animal studies have allowed researchers to …show more content…
