, in partnership with the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich’s neuroscience of pain group, the research identified that the rapid oscillations in brain waves associated with brief pain and touch can differ widely in scans.
The Department of Psychology’s Dr. Elia Valentini found major differences in timing, frequency, and location of the gamma oscillations and incredibly some people showed no waves at all.Dr Valentini said: “Not only, for the first time, can we pinpoint the extreme variability in the gamma response across individuals, but we also show that the individual response pattern is stable across time.
Interestingly, some recorded feeling pain and having no gamma response, whilst others had a large response.At this stage, it is not known why there is such variation – but it is hoped this will be a springboard for future research.
