Wrapping up #ReadEmo26 with a panel led by @carien.bsky.social, as it considers new directions for neuroimaging in pain research.

The afternoon keynotes at #ReadEmo26 covered AI/computational approaches: Jan Vollert rightfully points out issues with AI in pain research, incl bias. @gvg-neuro.bsky.social hit it out of the park summarising multimodal predictions of chronic pain in biobank data.

Our new @NatureHumBehav paper shows why we need a holistic pain biomarker framework. ML on blood tests, brain/bone imaging & genetics predicts clinical diagnoses but falls short on subjective pain. Adding psychosocial (mood, sleep, stress) boosts both. shorturl.at/vxxeO

Great paper demonstrating the importance of psychosocial context in bio marker research. An essential read, congrats on the awesome paper @mfilling.bsky.social!
