Dr. Jeffrey Mogil discusses the use of live animals in scientific research and the potential for alternative methods using computer models. He explains the difficulty of programming a computer to react like a biological system without a complete understanding of how the system works. He also discusses the use of AI in his research, specifically in training a machine learning algorithm to detect pain in mice based on facial expressions. Additionally, Dr. Mogil emphasizes the importance of measuring spontaneous pain in pre-clinical pain research and explains that current drugs for managing chronic pain have limited efficacy and serious side effects. He believes that the field of pain research is at a point of rapid progress and expects significant advancements in the next few decades.
