Mental imagery-induced attention modulates pain perception and cortical excitability.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Auditory perceptual learning persistently modifies neural networks in the central nervous system. Central auditory processing comprises a hierarchy of sound analysis and integration, which transforms an acoustical signal into a meaningful object for perception. Based on latencies and source locations of audi...
