Microneurography: Recording and stimulating peripheral nerves in humans
Physiology

We base our working around the technique of microneurography, but we also use other approaches, such as measuring muscle activity (EMG), heart rate, and electrodermal activity.
Behaviour

We use psychophysical, behavioral, and questionnaire approaches to understand more about human reactions.
Neuroimaging

We use fMRI, EEG, and MEG to further understand the central responses of the brain to somatosenory stimulation.
