The two didn't always agree, but the sentiment, that for the most part research and discovery is built on the work of those who came before, is as true today as it was then.\n\nThree and a half centuries later, the British Pain Society has just launched its Year of AI, Technology and Innovation in Pain Management.\n\nIn this episode we join the conversation, exploring the promises and challenges of developments in neuromodulation, virtual reality and AI.\n\n… It just seems amazing that something as intense and specific as pain, we haven't yet figured out exactly what we need to do in the brain to change it ...\n\n… The technology is not going to be as much of a barrier. The barrier is our own imagination of what we think is possible and how we should use that technology …\n\n… In my head, there was just all these risks and questions, and I'm like, guys, we need to do some studies on how this is going to roll out in healthcare …\n\nFeaturing:\n\nKaren Davis, Professor of Surgery at the University of Toronto\n\nJoshua W.
