The research team will be using non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS) to investigate their uses for pain relief in humans: healthy human subjects, acute pain patients, and chronic pain patients. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings will be collected to achieve the following objectives: Objective 1 aims to determine the effects of noninvasive brain stimulation on the pain-related brain activities during pain processing. We hypothesize that noninvasive brain stimulation approaches will increase or decrease cortical activity upon processing painful input. Objective 2 aims to determine the effects of noninvasive brain stimulation on pain intensity and/or pain-related behavioral assessments. We hypothesize that noninvasive brain stimulation will influence pain-intensity and/or pain-related behavioral assessments. Objective 3 aims to investigate the correlation between brain activity and pain relief after noninvasive brain stimulation. We hypothesize that noninvasive brain stimulation will suppress cortical activity in pain-related brain areas, reduce pain intensity, and/or improve pain-related behavioral assessments.
