| Why are humans so responsive to touch? This menu-driven program calculates
the different sensitivities of the body’s most receptive parts. The
density of touch sensors in the skin explains why some parts of the body
seem to have a much lower pain threshold—a microscopic splinter in
a finger can be extremely painful, while a cut on your leg may not hurt
as much. University College London professor Tony Dickinson and Stanford
University professor David Spiegel conduct experiments with electric shocks,
painkillers, and hypnosis to demonstrate the brain’s role in the experience
of physical pain. A BBCW Production. (30 minutes, color) Can be viewed using
a DVD player or computer DVD-ROM drive. |
