About this document
Understanding Physiological Zero Sensation by Claudia Alonso Soriano is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses various factors that influence thermal sensation and temperature perception thresholds. It explains that the skin can adapt to constant temperatures without sensing stimulation. Absolute thresholds are the smallest detectable changes in temperature and can be as small as 0.003°C or 0.004°C, depending on adaptation temperature. Rate of temperature change and vasoconstriction can also impact absolute thresholds. Spatial summation occurs over about 60 cm2 for warm stimuli, and bilateral
