In human fMRI studies, BOLD response to constant painful electrical and thermal stimulation has shown deviations from the canonical hemodynamic response function, leading to possible false negatives in activation maps when using a boxcar analysis model. In this work, we have considered possible signal variations during the BOLD response in the analysis, to process the data of noxious electrical stimulation of the hindpaw in rat models of incisional and inflammatory pain, and demonstrated the importance of accounting for these variations in order to fit the actual shape of the BOLD response.
