The fields of study he is best known for:
- Internal medicine
- Neuroscience
- Cognition
His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Developmental psychology, Anterior cingulate cortex, Audiology and Sensory system.
Neuroscience is frequently linked to Pain empathy in his study.
His Anterior cingulate cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cerebral cortex, Somatosensory system, Cingulate cortex and Limbic system.
His research in the fields of Secondary somatosensory cortex overlaps with other disciplines such as Noxious stimulus.
His Audiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Arousal, Heart rate and Sensation.
His Sensory system study incorporates themes from Stimulus, Heat pain and Treatment regimen.
His most cited work include:
- Pain affect encoded in human anterior cingulate but not somatosensory cortex. (2106 citations)
- Brain mechanisms of pain affect and pain modulation. (493 citations)
- Cortical Representation of the Sensory Dimension of Pain (481 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Pierre Rainville mainly investigates Neuroscience, Audiology, Anesthesia, Facial expression and Developmental psychology.
The Anterior cingulate cortex, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Somatosensory system and Brain activity and meditation research Pierre Rainville does as part of his general Neuroscience study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Noxious stimulus, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
The various areas that Pierre Rainville examines in his Anterior cingulate cortex study include Cerebral cortex and Inferior frontal gyrus.
His Audiology study incorporates themes from Arousal, Sensory system, Cognition and Perception.
His Anesthesia study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pain psychology, Chronic pain and Anxiety.
His Developmental psychology research integrates issues from Sadness, Anger and Emotion classification.
He most often published in these fields:
- Neuroscience (30.99%)
- Audiology (22.54%)
- Anesthesia (21.13%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

- Chronic pain (11.97%)
- Brain activity and meditation (9.15%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Neuroscience, Chronic pain, Brain activity and meditation, Audiology and Pain catastrophizing.
His Neuroscience study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Facial expression and Unconsciousness.
The various areas that Pierre Rainville examines in his Chronic pain study include Moderate to severe, Quantitative sensory testing, Psychological intervention and Traumatic brain injury.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cognitive psychology, Insula, Cingulate cortex, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Brain mapping.
His Audiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hypnotic, Stimulus and Perception.
His research in Pain catastrophizing tackles topics such as Physical medicine and rehabilitation which are related to areas like Analgesic.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The Corticocortical Structural Connectivity of the Human Insula (116 citations)
- Expectations predict chronic pain treatment outcomes. (63 citations)
- Expected value and sensitivity to punishment modulate insular cortex activity during risky decision making (26 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine

- Neuroscience
Pierre Rainville mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Brain activity and meditation, Pain catastrophizing, Anesthesia and Anxiety.
In most of his Neuroscience studies, his work intersects topics such as Developmental psychology.
The Brain activity and meditation study combines topics in areas such as Facial expression, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Prefrontal cortex and Brain mapping.
His studies in Pain catastrophizing integrate themes in fields like Rehabilitation, Logistic regression and Retrospective cohort study.
His research in Anesthesia intersects with topics in Selective attention and Stimulation.
Pierre Rainville has included themes like Morning, Sleep in non-human animals, Sleep disorder, Sleep Wake Disorders and Habituation in his Anxiety study.
