Programme

12.30  Welcome and short introduction to the topic “assessing big data sets in pain research”

A presentation of the chosen paper. Thus, you are not expected to prepare the presentation beforehand. Please prepare a presentation on the general content of the paper (structure, methods, why is this paper good/bad etc.), as well as a reflection of the general topic of big data in pain research: how can we use big data in pain research? How applicable are the lessons learned from big data studies in other fields to pain research? How can we become more critical of the results of such studies?
