Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)-Based Feedback for Chronic Pain Management

Scalp EEG signals that are acquired and recorded from experiment 1 and 2 are analysed for healthy controls, participants with low back pain and participants with lower limb pain. Comparisons of signal patterns are made between groups. Assuming unique signal patterns are obtained for each groups, these signals are further analysed and used to develop a feedback brain training system to better manage pain and ideally reduce fear-avoidant behaviors towards pain.
