Spontaneous (ongoing) pain is present at rest when no (intentional) stimulus is applied. Whether the pain is truly stimulus-independent, or actually associated with occult stimuli related to blood chemistry, growths, autonomic nervous system activity, hormones or other internal physiological factors is...
5; an outline of the specific sensory systems will now be given. These are the special senses of vision, hearing, taste and smell, position sense (including sensations arising from gravitational, rotational and proprioceptive receptors), the skin sensations of touch, pressure, vibration, and ...
The tuning fork was placed upright over a bony prominence at the lateral condyle of the tibia and was left in place until the subject reported loss of sensation. The minimum magnitude of vibration (0–8 scale visible on the fork, 0: strong, 8: none) reported as being felt by the ...
Place theory -Theory that pitch is determined by the location of greatest vibration of the basilar membrane.Frequency theory -Theory that pitch is determined by the frequency with which hair cells in the cochlea fire.Ear canal – Also called the auditory canal, carries sound waves into the ear...
Moreover, electronically switchable engine mounts provide the connection with the body. These mounts smooth out the vibrations caused by the engine (which vary according to load) as required, ensuring that all occupants experience exceptionally low ...

Vibration: Vibration in the skin is experienced when rapidly adapting touch sensors are stimulated rhythmically, for example when the hand strokes a texture, or when one sits on a chair and a truck is driving by, causing vibration of the floor. Receptor organs in the upper layer of the skin...
Some neurons of S1 respond to noxious inputs as well as to touch and vibration, although most are poor at encoding the intensity of noxious stimuli in terms of firing frequency. Nociceptive selective neurons appear to be rare, or absent in S1. Thalamocortical neurons of VPL and VPM also ...
Heat has general overall effects as well as those that are localized to a treated body part or region. Heat's effects also depend on the type of heat and its depth of penetration (the more adipose a client has the less penetration in those areas; and the reverse for those particularly ...
1. A sensation presenting system comprising: a tactual sensation presenting means that gives a tactual stimulation to a predetermined body part of a user by a tactual sensing unit; and a visual sensation presenting means which displays a bodily pseudo image corresponding to the predetermined body...
