Placebo-induced changes in FMRI in the anticipation and experience of pain
TD Wager, JK Rilling, EE Smith, A Sokolik, KL Casey… - Science, 2004 - science.org
The experience of pain arises from both physiological and psychological factors, including
one's beliefs and expectations. Thus, placebo treatments that have no intrinsic …

A meta-analysis of heart rate variability and neuroimaging studies: implications for heart rate variability as a marker of stress and health
The intimate connection between the brain and the heart was enunciated by Claude Bernard
over 150 years ago. In our neurovisceral integration model we have tried to build on this …
