@NYUPainResearch @karagm2009 @LinChangMD Did you happen to record this? Would love to disseminate the information to the 6000+ pain researchers on the PURPOSE Network

[PAIN Journal @PAINthejournal]

In this week’s #PAIN Featured Image, @camille_fauchon et al. depict how baby cries encode graded pain signals through acoustic features like pitch and vocal roughness, which listeners decoded to assess infant pain severity. Learn more at https://t.co/PtdVjXWJ3e
