Funded Activity Summary

I am a researcher interested in how we process pain in ourselves and others. I have identified a novel phenomenon whereby some individuals not only have empathy for others in pain, but experience pain in their own bodies when they see others in pain. I will further investigate these experiences to understand and highlight whether there are any distinct emotional, empathic, attentional or brain processes in people who experience empathic pain with a view to establishing appropriate treatment.
