Dear RG members,
While doing experimental pain research we often struggle with the dilemma of whether to standardize stimuli (everyone gets the same intensity. e.g. 46°C) or everyone gets the same pain (e.g. 50/100).
Some of the literature we summarized here:

I would like to ask you, which -in your oppinion- are the most important pros and cons of either approach?
Is a study/paper which is relevant for this discussion?
Thank you,
Waci
