Very interesting paper.  I would like to know what were the different pain stimuli used?  How many subjects were tested and any data on their hypnotizability scores? Are these results grouped across pain conditions?
The increase in occipital activation is often linked to imagery as you mention.  Did your induction procedures include specific imagery? Similarly what suggestions did you use to differentiate affect and sensory conditions?
If this is too long to answer you can send me an email copy of any paper that  would cover these questions.  Thanks
