Rewrote page
Used exclusively in the body function panel, it assisted a [[doctor]] in reading a patient's vital signs. This marker, not normally active, measured the level of pain experienced by a patient.
It was sometimes referred to as the "brain wave index", or was said to show "brain pattern"s or "delta waves." More accurately, this indicator showed the electrical activity of the [[brain]], drawing a correlation between pain levels and brain activity.
'''Example:''' While treating [[Spock]] for a [[Neural parasite (23rd century)|flying parasite]] infiltration in [[2267]], [[Leonard McCoy|Doctor McCoy]] activated this indicator to show how much pain the creature was inflicting on the science officer.
