A quick guide to MRI and how it works

Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can be a challenge to understand for anyone who is new to the field. In her latest blog post, PhD student Flavie Detcheverry guides us through the basics of what MRI is and the physics of how it works.

Pain and the brain: a real labyrinth! (podcast)

On the fifth episode of the QBIN podcast (in French), Béry Mohammediyan speaks to Professor Mathieu Roy to talk about bio-imaging and pain. They explore how bio-imaging has helped researchers like Professor Roy to better understand pain, which is complex and hard to treat.

Forget Tylenol, Try Passion: A Journey into Pain Management

In this blog post, McGill student Vanessa Krohn, delves into the fascinating world of research in pain management. By sharing some of the research conducted in the Roy Pain lab, she explores how distraction and the flow experience can influence pain perception positively, and how this fascinating research can be used to develop more effective and personalized pain management techniques.
