I heard this on NPR on my way to work today. This is something that can really help alot of people if they can develope it. As I said in another thread what's extreme pain for me might be just a bother for you or vice versa. Its very hard for doctors to quantify pain on a case by case basis. Taking the subjectivity out of the loop would greatly improve the quality of life for some. For people with chronic pain for sure. It may someday even help with abuse of pain killers.
