Bangladesh, June 29 -- Chicago, June 29 (Xinhua/UNB) -- Researchers at the University of Michigan (UM) have developed a technology to help clinicians "see" and map patient pain in real-time through special augmented reality glasses.

The portable CLARAi (clinical augmented reality and artificial intelligence) platform combines visualization with brain data using neuroimaging to navigate through a patient's brain while they're in the chair, according to a news release posted on UM's website on Thursday.

In the study, researchers triggered pain by administering cold to the teeth, and then used brain pain data to develop algorithms that, when coupled with new software and neuroimaging hardware, predicted pain or the absence of it about 70 p...
