This trial is enrolling 30 individuals with chronic spinal cord injury to test the effect of brain activity on neuropathic pain. If included, participants will undergo 3 separate fMRI sessions to measure brain activity. They will be shown information on this activity while trying different thinking strategies (e.g. shifting attention, imagery, mantra meditation, etc.) to change their pain experience. The study will take place over 2 days , about 1 hour on the first day and up to 7.5 hours on the second day. Final testing will occur after the second day.
