🟣 In the field of experimental pain research, one of the critical steps is calibration. This process ensures that stimulus intensity is adjusted to each individual’s sensitivity, making results both reliable and comparable across participants. 👉 A recent systematic review by Badzińska J et al., revealed that 69% of studies did not verify calibration effectiveness, and 82% failed to fully report critical details such as stimulus type, duration, or intervals. These findings reinforce the importance of well-defined experimental protocols and the need for future research on these topics. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dhGAe7cN
PAINLESS Horizon Europe Project
Hospitales y atención sanitaria
Developing and testing an innovative service model, PAINLESS, for the assessment and alleviation of cancer pain.
Sobre nosotros
PAINLESS is an international and multidisciplinary initiative investigating the underlying mechanisms of cancer pain and the use of neuromodulation as an alternative to pharmacological relief. PAINLESS will test a novel, home-based intervention to address cancer pain using transcranial, low intensity electric stimulation. The PAINLESS consortium comprises 17 partners across 10 countries: Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Switzerland. Our partners feature academic and research bodies, healthcare services, software companies, dissemination and communication organisations and non-profit organisations promoting patient involvement and health policy.

Progress in real-world EEG applications 🧠. This study from the University of Michigan shows how brain activity can be reliably recorded even in high-movement environments like construction sites, thanks to the customised Mentalab Explore setup. As a project working alongside our partner Mentalab, we are excited to see these advances proving that mobile EEG can be deployed in demanding real-world scenarios without compromising safety.
🦺 𝗘𝗘𝗚 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲? 𝗬𝗲𝘀, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲! A recent study by Gaang Lee, Juhyeon Bae, and SangHyun Lee (University of Michigan) tackled one of the toughest challenges for mobile EEG: motion artefacts during real-world, high-movement tasks. Using a 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗯 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽, the team mounted EEG caps under safety helmets — each recording electrode was paired with a nearby reference electrode capturing only motion-induced noise. 🔍 𝗙𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝟭 & 𝟮 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Figure 1: A full view of the cap designed to fit beneath a standard hard hat, with paired electrodes strategically placed for robust recording. Figure 2: The final configuration under the helmet — showing that EEG can be collected unobtrusively without compromising safety compliance. They then applied 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 (𝗰𝗜𝗖𝗔) to adaptively remove artefacts, even when they overlapped with brainwave frequencies. 📊 The result? Statistically higher signal quality than several advanced existing denoising methods, enabling reliable EEG recordings during physically demanding work. This breakthrough opens the door for field-ready neuroergonomics that can improve safety, cognitive monitoring, and performance in industries where mobility and protection are essential. 🔗 Read the full paper: https://lnkd.in/dqmNG5s2 #MobileEEG #ConstructionSafety #BCI #Neuroergonomics #EEGResearch #WearableTech #ExplorePro
