Thermal Contrast Enhancement Predicts Paradoxical Heat Sensation
Communications Psychology, 2023 AbstractParadoxical Heat Sensation (PHS) is the remarkable feeling of warmth or heat pain while the skin is cooling. Despite its initial documentation over 100 years ago, a unified explanation for this perplexing experience remains elusive. Here we apply contrast enhancement principles, known for their instrumental role in understanding visual ...
