Inter-individual predictors of pain inhibition during performance of a competing cognitive task

Abstract The main function of pain is to automatically draw attention towards sources of potential injury. However, pain sometimes needs to be inhibited in order to address or pursue more relevant tasks. Elucidating the factors that influence how people manage this relationship between pain and task...
