In the present study, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to examine pain perception in humans. Three types of noxious stimuli were presented: electric shock (20.8 mA, 2 Hz), heat (48°C), and mechanical, as well as a control tactile stimulus. The significance of activation at the l
