  2. Sympathetic resonance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_resonance

    Sympathetic resonance or sympathetic vibration is a harmonic phenomenon wherein a passive string or vibratory body responds to external vibrations to which it has a harmonic likeness. [1] The classic example is demonstrated with two similarly-tuned tuning forks. When one fork is struck and held near the other, vibrations are induced in the ...

  3. Vibroacoustic therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibroacoustic_Therapy

    Pallesthesia, the ability to perceive vibration, plays a crucial role in vibroacoustic therapy. This form of therapy relies on the body's sensitivity to mechanical vibrations. By stimulating vibratory perception through therapeutic sound waves, vibroacoustic therapy aims to promote physical and emotional well-being.

  4. Emotional eating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_eating

    Emotional eating, also known as stress eating and emotional overeating, [1] is defined as the "propensity to eat in response to positive and negative emotions". [2] While the term commonly refers to eating as a means of coping with negative emotions, it sometimes includes eating for positive emotions, such as overeating when celebrating an event or to enhance an already good mood.

    A study in the International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science also helps to explain the phenomenon of emotional eating, as it points out that sweet, high-calorie foods are often what people ...

  6. Vibration theory of olfaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_theory_of_olfaction

    The vibration theory of smell proposes that a molecule's smell character is due to its vibrational frequency in the infrared range. This controversial theory is an alternative to the more widely accepted docking theory of olfaction (formerly termed the shape theory of olfaction), which proposes that a molecule's smell character is due to a range of weak non-covalent interactions between its ...

  7. Stimulus modality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulus_modality

    High frequency sounds will stimulate the auditory hair cells at the base of the basilar membrane while medium frequency sounds cause vibrations of auditory hair cells located at the middle of the basilar membrane. For frequencies that are lower than 200 Hz, the tip of the basilar membrane vibrates in sync with the sound waves.

  8. Somatosensory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatosensory_system

    The density of tactile corpuscles, a type of mechanoreceptor that detects low-frequency vibrations, is greater in smaller fingers; [37] the same may hold for Merkel cells, which detect the static indentations important for fine spatial acuity. [36] Among children of the same age, those with smaller fingers also tend to have better tactile ...

    However, whereas McFadden argues that his deterministic interpretation of the EM field is not out-of-line with mainstream thinking, Pockett suggests that the EM field comprises a universal consciousness that experiences the sensations, perceptions, thoughts and emotions of every conscious being in the universe.
