The pain stimulus was a thermal noxious stimuli of 3 seconds
duration, and was administered to the dorsum of the volunteer's
left hand using an electrical resistor to generate heat. This
device consists of a 1.5 by 2 cm copper sheet, which delivered a
very fast ramping heat stimulus (30-60 in 0.8 seconds) and
simultaneously measured the skin temperature under the device. The
auditory stimuli lasted for 3 seconds each. Both stimuli had
varying ISI (between seconds and seconds).
