Study Summary
This experiment aims to examine the effects of social interaction with close others or strangers in virtual reality or through a video-conferencing call, on pain threshold in healthy volunteers in an induced pain task. In a within-subjects study, participants will complete a series of induced-pain heat ramps in four conditions. These conditions are 1. alone in virtual reality 2. with a close friend or family member in virtual reality 3. with a stranger in virtual reality 4. with the same close friend or family member in a video call.
Primary Outcome
Change in temperature from the beginning to the end of each trial (when the heat ramp begins, and when participants remove their hands) will be noted in milliseconds.
