Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: **Population One: Healthy Subjects** 1. Healthy right-handed adults aged 18 to 35 years; 2. No significant emotional fluctuations in the past week; 3. Normal cognitive function, able to understand the experimental process and cooperate to complete the experiment; 4. Normal or corrected-to-normal vision; 5. Willing to participate and sign a written informed consent form. **Population Two: Chronic Low Back Pain Subjects** 1. Right-handed individuals aged 18 to 35 years; 2. Pain located in the area below the lower edge of the ribs and above the gluteal fold, with muscle tension or stiffness, possibly accompanied by lower limb pain; 3. Experiencing low back pain for at least the past 3 months, with pain of moderate or greater intensity (VAS = 5), and having low back pain for at least half of the time in the past 6 months; 4. Activity limitations caused by low back pain (RMDQ = 5); 5. Normal cognitive function or only mild cognitive impairment (MMSE = 24); 6. Able to understand the experimental process and complete the entire experiment; 7. Willing to participate and sign the informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: **Exclusion Criteria for Population One: Healthy Subjects** 1. Presence of sensory disorders; 2. Noticeable skin damage or skin diseases that could affect pain measurement; 3. Neurological or psychiatric disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia); 4. History of head trauma or significant organic lesions, such as brain tumors or cerebral infarction; 5. Other systemic diseases affecting brain function (e.g., metabolic diseases, hematological diseases, infectious diseases); 6. Current use of medications (e.g., antidepressants, painkillers). **Exclusion Criteria for Population Two: Chronic Low Back Pain Subjects** 1. Guided physical therapy for low back pain in the past 3 months, including stretching, strength training, or motor control training; 2. Low back pain with a clear etiology and underlying pathological changes (e.g., sciatica, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, recent vertebral fractures); 3. Severe underlying systemic or visceral diseases (e.g., inflammatory diseases, malignancies, unexplained weight loss, infection, or recent trauma); 4. Pain in other body parts that is more severe than low back pain; 5. Back surgery in the past 6 months; 6. Other functional disorders that could affect treatment outcomes; 7. Contact dermatitis, ulcers, or open wounds.
