Does a neutral thermal sensation determine thermal comfort? [PDF]

open access: yesBuilding Services Engineering Research and Technology, 2018
The neutral thermal sensation (neither cold, nor hot) is widely used through the application of the ASHRAE seven-point thermal sensation scale to assess thermal comfort.

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 ...

THE LOCALIZATION OF NON TACTILE THERMAL SENSATIONS

Psychophysiology, 1969
ABSTRACTAn 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, 2013
Concurrent 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, 2016
Thermal 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, 2017
We 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.
