Brainwave patterns can reliably predict a person’s pain sensitivity

PWME often have pain issues. I wonder if this method of measuring alpha wave activity might be helpful for research about ME pain.

What would be even more useful is if they could find a similar pattern correlating with central fatigue. Collect some EEGs from people with different levels of reported fatigue, feed them into a computer programmed to look for correlations, and maybe they'd find something.
