In this September 2021 episode of The Science of Everything, host James Fodor explains the physical, emotional, and sometimes intangible experience of pain.

Pain is, sadly, a fact of life, be it from small cuts and bruises, broken bones, or emotional trauma.

However, the biological process of experiencing pain is something of a mystery, and because pain is totally subjective, it can't be compared from person to person.

In this September 2021 episode of The Science of Everything podcast, host James Fodor lays out the physiological process that happens when we are hurt and describes how our experience of pain is dictated by our emotions, not just our bodies.

Drawing on his experience as a student of computational neuroscience, Fodor takes us on a journey of discovery, explaining why things may sometimes hurt more (or less) than we expect.
