Touch is one of the senses, and the senses all interact with each other. For example: While walking through an open air market, you SEE baskets overflowing with wonderful flowers of all imaginable colors, sizes, textures in bouquets tied with satin or velvet ribbons. The baskets sit two long table lengths, in two rows. The SMELL is overwhelmingly delightful as you walk between the rows. Also, although you may not be aware of it, your EMOTIONS are triggered--by sight and smell in this situation.
You cannot help but to reach out to TOUCH the sturdy green stems, to feel how cool they are, and to glide your fingers gently along the petals, as you remember ....
Our emotions and basic human needs also demand that we touch and be touched.
Studies show that the "art of laying hands" on a person can be as healing as --or at least an adjunct--to some of the strongest medicines or best treatments medicine can offer. Hospital patients often recall the nurse who gently touched the patient's hand...or the Doctor Who patted the patient's shoulder...as professionals who seemed to care the most or had the most healing effect. A human's spiritual side also craves touch and gestures of caring, as good for the soul as listening to an uplifting hymn or seeing a religious picture. We "reach out" and touch others to show affection, caring, etc. Our love lives need touch just as much as romantic love needs the partner to show interest, engage in conversations, and communicate a loving bond. The stimulus for touch is reflex

What cannot be used for signaling the intensity of a stimulus?
