Research Associates
Professor W. J. Culp, Ph.D., Associate Dean, Dartmouth Medical School, New Hampshire
Professor Hugh Bostock. Ph.D. Institute of Neurology, London
Dr. Renato Verdugo, M.D. University of Chile, Santiago
Dr. Mario Campero, M.D. University of Chile, Santiago

Specific Research Aims
-- Encoding of natural stimulus energies into electrical impulses by sensory nerve receptors, and their decoding by the brain into specific sensations, in normal and abnormal states (see Journal of Physiology 1983 and 1989).
(Awarded annual prize Swedish Medical Society 1981, shared with Erik Torebjörk, M.D.; Ph.D.; Professor of Pain Research; Uppsala, Sweden.)

-- Abnormal nerve impulse generation and abnormal sensation due to nerve disease (see Brain, 1980 and Book by Culp and Ochoa).
-- Irritation of primary pain receptors causing chronic pain, hyperalgesia and inflammation of the skin: a false "reflex sympathetic dystrophy." (The ABC Syndrome: See Cline et al, 1989).
-- False painful neuropathy of psychological origin (see Journal of Contemporary Neurology, 1997, an internet journal).
-- Automated tracking of latency and threshold of electrical impulses in single, identified, human sensory and sympathetic nerve fibers (Q-Track method, Professor Bostock, Institute of Neurology, London) (See Serra et al, Journal of Physiology, 1999).
