Alpha and Theta Oscillations Associated With Behavioral Phenotypes of Pain–Attention Interaction by Nikou Kelardashti, Benjamin T. Dunkley, Rima El‐Sayed, Vaidhehi Veena Sanmugananthan, Junseok Andrew Kim, Natalie Rae Osborne, Joshua C. Cheng, Anton Rogachov, Rachael L. Bosma, Ariana E. Besik, Karen Deborah Davis

“…The A/P categorization quantifies how pain impacts cognitive performance during an attention‐demanding task classifying individuals into P type (pain dominates, worse performance during pain in comparison to no pain) and A type (attention to task dominates, better performance during pain in comparison to no pain). Although previous MRI‐based studies have linked these phenotypes with the dynamic pain connectome (DPC), the underlying neural oscillations are not known. …”
