The human body has the ability to understand the environment around it by using its senses. The five basic human senses are hearing‚ sight‚ touch‚ smell‚ and taste. Anytime one of these senses is triggered by a specific stimulus the signal is transmitted to the brain in order for the information to be interpreted. This transmission process is known as perception. First the body will experience an external stimulus‚ the sensation. Then this information will be transformed into electrical stimulation

a robot. Each creature is assigned a task‚ to enter a specific output when shown a corresponding input. This is somewhat reminiscent of Daniel Dennett’s critique of Cartesian Dualism‚ the “Cartesian Theater”. The most obvious difference being 1 homunculus sitting in the Cartesian Theatre‚ as opposed to several homunculi sitting within the head of the robot. Another crucial difference being that Block and Dennett are on opposite sides of the functionalism debate. Block also formulates the “Chinese

Background: A meta-analysis indicates that the use of foot orthoses seems to improve foot disability and reduced pain related to chronic plantar fasciitis. Preliminary evidence suggests that plantar fascia thickness greater than 4mm appears related to foot disability in individuals with chronic plantar fasciitis. However‚ it seems contradictory that inserting more plantar thickness‚ via foot orthosis or taping‚ to the already thickened plantar fascia‚ may be linked to reduced pain and disability

Block 5 Skin Sensitivity Lab Hypothesis: The fingertips will be the most sensitive because they are used the most for touching things all of the time. The area that will be the least sensitive is the shins because we are constantly bumping into things with our shins so they need to be less sensitive to pain.

The loss of an arm or leg through amputation is not an easy experience to endure‚ and is even more difficult when the patient begins to feel uncomfortable sensations in their now missing limb. This feeling‚ referred to as "phantom pain" or "stump hallucination"‚ is a frustrating sensation to an amputee. For some amputees‚ these phantom sensations may be no more than painless distractions of pressure‚ warmth‚ and cold that do not interfere with their everyday lives. Some patients have even reported

less acutely? It is commonly believed that amygdalitic coherence channels pain from the so-called ’fear centers’ via the relatively well understood epineuronic and pseudoneuronic mechanisms. Yet‚ there is little understanding of how the sensory homunculus finally integrates both types of information (Irvine 2003; Podgorny & Laslo 1992; Anselmo et al. 1998) especially in light of the supposed modulating capabilities of fear. In this paper we will discuss the various hypothesized

subjects both felt sensations on very specific regions on their face as well as a‚ “ ‘tingling’ sensation in an individual digit” (Ramachandran‚ 1993‚ p. 10415) of the amputated arm. Dr. Ramachandran compared the location of senses to the Penfield homunculus and noticed that areas that amputees felt sensations from the Q tip (face and upper arm) are sandwiched between sensations for the hand. With this information‚ Dr. Ramachandran proposed the theory that the brain is capable of “remapping” sensations

(Optional) Scientists have used a drawing called a motor homunculus to show the connection between different body parts and areas of the brain.

For the tactile response‚ the somatic sensory cortex displays body parts that are in proportion to the amount of cortex dedicated to their sensation. This is known as the “homunculus” and it increases the touch response. The stimulus in the study is the touching of the shoulder. The receptors in the skin transmit the signal via the spinal cord. Then‚ it goes through the thalamus‚ and towards the brain‚ specifically the partial
