EEG of each participant was recorded during motor imagery (MI) of paralyzed and painful, and nonparalyzed and nonpainful limbs. Phased locked value was calculated using Hilbert transform to study altered functional connectivity between different regions. <i>Results.</i> The posterior region connectivity with frontal, fronto-central, and temporal regions is strongly decreased mainly during MI of dominant upper limb (nonparalyzed and nonpainful limbs) in SCI no pain group. This modified connectivity is prominent in the alpha and high-frequency bands (beta and gamma). Moreover, oscillatory modified global connectivity is observed in the pain group during MI of painful and paralyzed limb which is more evident between fronto-posterior, frontocentral-posterior, and within posterior and within frontal regions in the theta and SMR frequency bands. Cluster coefficient and local efficiency values are reduced in patients with no reported pain group while increased in the PWP group. <i>Conclusion.</i> The altered theta band connectivity found in the fronto-parietal network along with a global increase in local efficiency is a consequence of pain only, while altered connectivity in the beta and gamma bands along with a decrease in cluster coefficient values observed in the sensory-motor network is dominantly a consequence of injury only.

The critical role of the brain dopamine system as a basis for brain-world interaction and the importance of research on urbanicity and adolescent development as examples of the application of WIN were discussed. The promotion of these studies will require bidirectional translation between human population science and animal cognitive neuroscience. We propose that the social model of disability should be incorporated into cognitive sciences, and that disability-informed innovation is needed to identify how social factors are involved in mismatches that are difficult to visualize.
