Acknowledgements

We would like to thank the production team at NOI HQ the design team Paula Filippone and Ariane Allchurch, editor Juliet Gore, research Kat Waterman, accounts Karin Kosiol, dispatch and customer service Tara Gagliardi, as well as Dan Tomkins for his great artwork and Halton Stewart for his ongoing enthusiasm and innovation in developing computer-based tools.

But mostly, we want to thank the very large number of patients who tried out various forms of GMI during its development, or who participated in experiments and clinical trials on it once it was developed and the community of clinicians who continually feed back their experiences of GMI in the real world so that we can keep working towards better outcomes for people in pain.
