Why do humans laugh when tickled?

The tickling response seems to be complex. The type of tickling response that brings laughter is different from the tickling sensation that is related to itching. There are two types of phenomena at work here. One is knismesis, which is a "moving itch" sensation. Most mammals and a lot of other animals have this. You can invoke this in yourself. The other phenomenon is called gargalesis. That is a harder type of tickling and which seems to generate laughter. It seems to be present only in humans, other primates, and perhaps rodents. This type of response seems to require another person. If you tickle yourself roughly in the sensitive areas, you will likely not feel much of anything. The tickle sensation seems to involve both the pain and touch receptors, and endorphin is released. But a certain amount of it may be a nervous reaction or a placebo effect, since the most "ticklish" of people tend to laugh or pull back before being tickled.

What is haptodysphoria?

Haptodysphoria is an unpleasant sensation experienced by some people when touching a certain type of material, specifically things like peach skins, velvet, or polyurethane foam. Contrary to some Internet sources, haptodysphoria does not refer to this sensation with other materials, such as sticky, ruff, crunchy, fuzzy, or metallic surfaces. The sensation is described as having one's "blood run cold" or as a "shiver down the spine", and seems to be accompanied by goosebumps, shaking, or similar physical agitation. Haptodysphoria is an acute sensation and has not been reported to effect many people.


what is the battery life of the sensation and how much does it weigh.?

When you first look at the Sensation 4g, It looks weightless and cheap, but If you pick it up, it's heavy, and seems indestructable. If The Sensation is in your pocket, You will never FORGET it's in your pocket. It's battery life (if never used) can probably last two days. On the other hand, we want to use our phones, and search the web, play games, download pictures, The Sensation doesn't lose too much power. Of course you'll have to charge it overnight but who doesn't. Its an absolutely brilliantly made phone, thats made to hold your business and entertainment.

What is meant by the projection of a sensation?

It seems what you are thinking of is "referred pain", which is the feeling of pain in a location other than that of the injured part. For example, when a person's appendix becomes infected, the pain often presents in the upper abdomen or even in the shoulder. As the infection increases, the pain usually begins to localize more toward the actual site of irritation of injury..

Technically, it isn't, but 5 billion years seems to be a long time so I guess it's renewable. The renewable aspect of solar energy comes from the "fact" that it's "limitless" and can be continuously harvested without fear of running out.
