The Neural Basis of Measurable Pain
Pain produces distinct, reproducible cortical signatures. AGRI captures them continuously and translates them into a standardized clinical index.


Cortical Signatures of Pain Intensity
A distributed network of cortical and subcortical regions — including the anterior cingulate, somatosensory cortex, and insula — activates in response to nociceptive input. These activations produce consistent, measurable EEG frequency patterns that correlate with pain intensity across subjects.
Unlike behavioral indicators, neural signatures cannot be suppressed or exaggerated. They reflect the underlying nociceptive state with objective fidelity.


From EEG Stream to a Graded 0–100 Score
AGRI's recurrent neural architecture ingests continuous multi-channel EEG data, isolates pain-relevant spectral features across delta, theta, and gamma bands, and applies a validated weighting model to produce a single graded index — updated in real time, every second.
The result is a standardized score comparable across patients and sessions, enabling dosing decisions grounded in objective, continuous measurement rather than intermittent self-report.
Sensitivity, Specificity, Reproducibility
Across controlled clinical trials, the AGRI index demonstrates statistically significant sensitivity to nociceptive changes and specificity against confounding arousal signals — with reproducibility that standard self-report scales cannot achieve.
