State
Nociception is the detection of tissue-damaging stimuli; pain is the experience the brain constructs from that signal and its context.
Show
An injured athlete feels little pain during competition and severe pain within minutes of stopping.
Watch for
Pain is not a readout of damage. Signal and experience can diverge in both directions.
