S.4 Ep.1 - The Science of Pain & Pushing Through the Pain Barrier
Welcome to a new season, looking forward to some great new guests and also getting some previous guests back on.
Today i'm speaking to Dr Richard Harrison, he is a pain researcher employed at the University of Reading and affiliated with the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences (SPCLS) and Centre for Integrative Neuroscience and Neurodynamics (CINN). His research focuses predominately on pain, examining psychological processes underlying how pain is processed, as well as individual differences in the ability to modulate (or control) the experience of pain.
As pain is a multi-faceted phenomenon, involving sensory, emotional, cognitive and affective dimensions, his research covers a wide breadth in an attempt to understand such a complex topic. Richard is a firm believer in the utility of inter-disciplinary research, especially when studying pain. Working together with colleagues across an array of skill sets helps improve the relevance and scope of his work, as well as reducing the risk of researching within an “echo chamber”.
