When suddenly your little toe meets the corner of the table leg. AOUCH! A sharp and then invasive pain runs through your foot and back up into your leg. Once you&#8217;ve recovered from this pain, you can&#8217;t remember what you were thinking just before the shock. Well, this is the phenomenon I am studying. I\u2019m interested in the impact of pain on our attention and memory. When we hurt ourselves, pain immediately grabs our attention to warn us of a potential danger. So our line of thought is interrupted, we were distracted. In my research project I record brain activity while my participants do a computer exercise that requires a lot of their attention. Randomly they receive painful stimuli on the hand. I then look to see if the painful stimuli have distracted them and how the brain reacts. So I hope to get a better understanding of the brain mechanisms that make pain so distracting and how it could be made less invasive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are quietly tidying up in your home while letting your mind wander.
