Temperature perception and thermal feedback
Cards in this group · 4
- A4.15.1Cold and warmth are coded by separate receptors and pathways, not by one bipolar channel
- A4.15.2Alternating warm and cold stimulation can produce a burning illusion with no noxious input
- A4.15.3The temperature channel is more tightly linked to emotion and social meaning than other tactile channels
- A4.15.4Ambient temperature shifts the skin's neutral zone, so the same feedback feels different across environments
