Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1988
The sensitivity of thermal receptors and responses is compared with thermal noise in receptor cells and with thermal signals in the environment. It is demonstrated that the most sensitive responses known are far less sensitive than is physically possible but sufficiently sensitive to detect the smallest signals likely to be present in the environment ...

THE LOCALIZATION OF NON TACTILE THERMAL SENSATIONS
Psychophysiology, 1969ABSTRACTAn experiment by Nathan and Rice (1966) on the localization of thermal sensations was replicated. The present, somewhat more detailed, results essentially confirm the findings of the earlier authors. Thermal sensations evoked by non‐tactile thermal stimuli can be localized; their localization is less accurate than that of tactile stimuli; and ...

Validation of the Omni Scale of Thermal Sensations
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2013Concurrent and construct validation of the OMNI Scale of Thermal Sensations was examined in a sample of 16 adult men and 5 adult women. Concurrent validity was established by regressing OMNI ratings of thermal sensation against core and skin temperatures obtained during treadmill walking while wearing firefighter thermal-protective clothing in ...

Thermal sensation models: a systematic comparison
Indoor Air, 2016Thermal sensation models, capable of predicting human's perception of thermal surroundings, are commonly used to assess given indoor conditions. These models differ in many aspects, such as the number and type of input conditions, the range of conditions in which the models can be applied, and the complexity of equations.

Aerial display with thermal and acoustic sensation
ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 Posters, 2017We have developed a visual, thermal and acoustic floating aerial display. Our developed display forms aerial visual images over a tabletop and locally heats a part of aerial images. Furthermore, our display forms locally aerial speaker on a part of aerial images, where sound pressure locally increases.

Thermal subjective sensations of motorcyclists
Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2013The purpose of motorcycle clothing is to protect the motorcyclist not only against weather conditions but also against an unforeseen contact with other objects. Nevertheless, the use of such clothing, especially in summer, is related to overheating of the motorcyclist's body. Therefore, it would be advisable to ensure that appropriate protection is not

Probit analysis of thermal sensation assessments
International Journal of Biometeorology, 1977The probit technique for analysis of subjective assessments of thermal sensation is described. It enables transition temperatures from any selected thermal sensation to the adjacent thermal sensation (e.g. from “neutral” to “warm”) to be identified.

Neurophysiology of Skin Thermal Sensations
Comprehensive Physiology, 2016ABSTRACT Undoubtedly, adjusting our thermoregulatory behavior represents the most effective mechanism to maintain thermal homeostasis and ensure survival in the diverse thermal environments that we face on this planet.

Thermal sensation during experimental hypothermia
Physiology & Behavior, 1978Abstract Ten subjects were cooled to a deep body temperature (TDB)∼35°C by the passage of cold air and water over the skin. Four subjects repeated the exposure on 3 more occasions. Subjective assessments of thermal comfort were recorded using an automated 10 cm line device.

Psychological adaptation to thermal environments and its effects on thermal sensation
Physiology & Behavior, 2022Psychological adaptation to thermal environments might play an important role in the human thermal comfort. However, effects of psychological thermal adaptation on thermal comfort have been rarely studied. To investigate building occupants' psychological adaptation to indoor climates in hot summer and cold winter, a long-term tracking survey within a ...
