Document Summary
Feeling pain: nociception: is the activity of nerve pathways that respond to uncomfortable stimulation, gate-control theory: which explains our experience of pain as an interaction b/w nerves that transmit pain messages and those that inhibit these messages. Phantom limb pain: phantom limb sensations: are frequently experienced by amputees who report pain and other sensations coming from the absent limb. The chemical senses: taste and smell: gustatory system: functions in the sensation and perception of taste. Multimodal integration: multimodal integration: the abil to comb sensation from diff modalities such as vision and hearing into a single integrated perception. What is multimodal integration: multimodal integration is a form of problem-solving performed by your brain. 100s of times a day: 2 types of sensation should be integrated into a multimodal perception, is whether the diff sensations are in a similar location. If we hear meow and see a cat w/ mouth open we link them together: temporal information.
