It is helpful to prevent further injuries by inducing protective reflex, withdrawal movements and to serve as an alarm of health problems to the body. Due to such importance, several studies have been made in order to understand pain mechanisms. This work presents an artificial neural network for modeling of pain implemented on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The model is based on the Gate Control Theory of Pain and, for the purpose of allowing hardwa… Show more
