SENSATIONAL GHOSTS, GHOSTLY SENSATIONS
Women's Writing, 2013This essay examines the dialogue between sensation fiction and the ghost story from the late 1850s to the early 1870s, with specific reference to the work of Ellen Wood, Amelia Edwards and Rhoda Broughton. It investigates why these literary forms may have been of particular interest to women writers, and, through close reading of representative ...

In her 1965 paper, ‘The Intentionality of Sensation’, Elizabeth Anscombe addresses one of the key issues in philosophy of perception at least since George Berkeley (1710): is perception 1 direct or not? And if not, by what is it mediated? Philosophers of her time called the alleged intermediary objects of sensation ‘sense-data’ (Ayer, 1955).

This chapter discusses the anatomic basis of the olfactory sensation (smell) and symptoms and signs caused by its impairment. The primary neurons of the olfactory system are the bipolar cells located in the olfactory epithelium of the nasal mucous membrane (Figure 6-1).

Physiology, 2013
The hairs of the skin not only function to prevent heat loss but also have important sensory functions. Recent work has now established that each hair of the skin is innervated by one or more of three types of mechanoreceptor ending. Each of these three mechanoreceptor types possesses distinct molecular features and detects distinctive information ...

A multitude of methods for evaluating sensory nerves and function have been devised, ranging from simple bedside measures of minimal perception to skin or nerve biopsies. Some depend on subject cooperation or attention, such as bedside tests and quantitative assessments of vibration, temperature, or pain perception. Electrodiagnostic testing and evoked
