Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Participants will rate how much pain they experience during several brief thermal stimulations at painful but tolerable temperatures participants pre-approve. During some of the stimuli participants will be in virtual reality, and during some stimuli participants will not be in VR. Sometimes participants will receive two brief stimuli at the same time.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

During VR, participants will put their cyberhand into a bowl of animated water and will place virtual objects in the bowl and stir the virtual water. Participants will also receive several brief thermal heat stimulations at a temperature of their choice (sometimes one stimulus, sometimes two simultaneous stimuli). During some of the stimuli participants will be in virtual reality, and some stimuli will not be in VR.
