Experimental investigation on thermal comfort model between local thermal sensation and overall thermal sensation [PDF]

open access: yesEnergy and Buildings, 2018
To study the human local and overall thermal sensations, a series of experiments under various conditions were carried out in a climate control chamber. The adopted analysis method considered the effect of the weight coefficient of local average skin temperature and density of the cold receptors’ distribution in different local body areas.

Penile Thermal Sensation

Journal of Urology, 1996
To our knowledge no direct measurement of autonomic failure in the penis is currently available. Indirect techniques in clinical use, such as bulbocavernosus reflex, genital somatosensory evoked potentials and biothesiometry, all rely on large nerve fiber function.

Thermal sensations

2018
Climate change – in the citiesUrban microclimates cannot be explained solely on the basis of scientific phenomena, but are also affected materially and spatially by the city’s local architecture. The layout, design, and facade construction of buildings have a major impact on wind and temperature conditions.

Thermal Sensation on Forehead Using Electrical Stimulation

Extended Abstracts of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2021
Thermal sensation systems are embedded into head-mounted displays using Peltier devices, water, or chemical substances to enhance the sense of presence in virtual reality environments. We propose a new method of presenting thermal sensation to the forehead by using electrical stimulation. This is based on our finding that when electrical stimulation is

Effects of epidural anesthesia on thermal sensation

Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, 2001
Epidural anesthesia decreases the core temperatures triggering vasoconstriction and shivering, presumably by increasing apparent (as opposed to actual) lower-body temperature. We therefore tested the hypothesis that epidural anesthesia also increases the overall perception of warmth.We studied 8 volunteers in a randomized, cross-over protocol separated

Limits of thermal sensation

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 ...
