Using functional MRI and direct stimulation, his research explores the neural basis of pain perception through methods like suggested pain and vicarious pain observation. Key studies examine pain modulation in clinical populations and ethical dimensions of injury feigning in sports.
His publications span neuroscience, social psychology, and clinical pain management, with notable work on brain activity divergence during pain interventions and empathic pain responses. Collaborations with researchers like D.A. Oakley and M.G. Whalley highlight interdisciplinary approaches.
