Impact of hedonic integration with pain and pleasure stimuli

This experiment system provides a mechanism to study hedonic sensory integration in human subjects with specific focus on interaction between pain and pleasure. The system allows creation of stimuli segments with varying degrees of intensity and change based on subject's own discomfort thresholds and provides analysis mechanisms which illustrate the impact of mixing concurrent pain and pleasure.
