The correct link and paper is listed below (same authors but slightly different study). ~9 minute mark - another key difference between EIMP and PE, pain will remain present for some time after the work set with EIMP. Whereas with PE, it will instantly begin to drop once you stop performing work. In the former case, the byproducts from the work have shifted the local environment to where pain “sense” will linger for some time. Whereas in the latter case, once you cease working, your brain stops working so hard which starts to drop your PE.
