Abstract:
How do people learn names for kinds of sensations? Wittgenstein identifies two possibilities. 1. Direct acquaintance: A person feels a sensation, notes its intrinsic character, and sets about to use the word thereafter for this sensation. 2. Outward signs: A person pins his use of the word to the sensation's outward signs. Wittgenstein rejects 1 and endorses 2. He thinks a sensation name can be learned only if people pin their use of the word to outward signs. I identify a third procedure and show we name many sensations and other kinds of mental states this way.

Abstract:
At present, the existing predictive models of overall thermal sensation cannot accurately evaluate occupants’ feelings under vehicle cabin conditions. In this work, aiming at the overall thermal sensation evaluation of vehicle occupants in winter heating condition, the interrelations between the occupants’ local thermal sensations and the overall thermal sensation are analyzed using the experimental results of physical tests. It reveals that the overall thermal sensation is significantly affected by the local thermal sensation at extremities, which are called the extreme local thermal sensations. The overall thermal sensation evaluation model is established using the Support Vector Machine method, which is based on the maldistribution of the local thermal sensations, the extreme local thermal sensation, and the mean value of the local thermal sensations. The prediction accuracy of the training set and the verification set are 80% and 71.11% evidence the application potential of the Support Vector Machine evaluation model.

Abstract:
Abstract During irradiation sessions for brain tumors or head and neck cancers, some patients experience abnormal olfactory sensations. To date, the frequency of such sensations during these treatment sessions has not been investigated. We analyzed abnormal olfactory sensations in patients who underwent radiation therapy at our institution for primary brain tumors, excluding malignant lymphoma, between January 2009 and January 2018. A total of 191 patients who were awake during radiation treatment and capable of communicating were analyzed in this retrospective medical study. Of these patients, 7 were aware of olfactory sensations during irradiation. The median age of these 7 patients was 13 (range 8–47) years, Six were <20 years of age, accounting for 10% of the total population of similar age (n = 60). However, only 1 of 131 patients aged ≥20 years complained of strange olfactory sensations. Four of seven patients had germ cell tumors, but none had a medulloblastoma. We investigated patients who experienced light sensation, as an internal standard to ascertain the accuracy of this study. Only 10 patients experienced light sensation during their irradiation sessions. This suggests that the frequency of these sensations was possibly underestimated in our study. In conclusion, a considerable number of patients experienced unusual olfactory sensations during radiation treatment. Further prospective studies on abnormal olfactory sensations during irradiation are needed to clarify the underlying mechanism of this sensation.

Abstract:
We demonstrate a thermal tactile sensation display that can present various thermal sensations, namely cold/cool/warm/hot feelings, by varying the effective thermal conductivity of the display. Thermal sensation is one of the major tactile sensations and needs to be further investigated for advanced virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) systems. Conventional thermal sensation displays present hot/cold sensations by changing the temperature of the display surface, whereas the proposed display is the first one that controls its effective thermal conductivity. The device contains an air cavity and liquid metal that have low and high thermal conductivity, respectively. When the liquid metal is introduced to fill up the air cavity, the apparent thermal conductivity of the device increases. This difference in the thermal conductivity leads to the users experiencing different thermal tactile sensations. Using this device, the threshold to discriminate the effective thermal conductivity was experimentally deduced for the first time. This thermal tactile display can be a good platform for further study of thermal tactile sensation.

Full text
Abstract:
Commentators have argued that along with adopting a mechanical view of nature, Descartes developed two innovative views concerning sensation: sensation occurs without the involvement of an entity resembling the sensation, and sensations represent features of objects but without resembling them. When Descartes is interpreted as making both of these claims, it appears that in removing resemblance from the causal process of sensation, Descartes preserves the notion that sensations represent features of objects and that he does this by introducing a new conception of representation — one not requiring resemblance.It is important to recognize that the two claims are distinct. The first claim, that the physical process of sensation does not involve something resembling the qualitative content of the sensation, does not in and of itself entail anything about the representational nature of the sensation. Or rather, what it does entail is that if sensations do represent their causes in objects, then it cannot be by presenting those causes to the mind as they exist in objects.

Abstract:
Surface texture plays an important role in expressing the tactile sensation of leather. The purpose of this study was to develop a combinational panel of physical properties that express the tactile sensations of coarse/fine, uneven/flat, soft/hard, sticky/slippery, and moist/dry. Thirteen synthetic leather samples were fabricated from polyurethane, and eight physical properties were measured as storage modulus, loss modulus, surface roughness, waviness, mean frictional coefficient, apparent contact angle, contact angle hysteresis, and urethane thickness. Thirty adult women performed sensory evaluation of the five tactile sensations by using a semantic differential method based on a five-point scale. The tactile sensation–physical property model for each tactile sensation was explored with logistic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the proposed models based on multiple physical properties clearly distinguish the tactile sensations with higher sensitivity and specificity compared to using a single physical property. The dynamic viscoelasticity contributed to all the tactile sensations when polyurethane was used as synthetic leather. Additionally, the difference of five tactile sensations might be caused by the surface roughness, the mean frictional coefficient, and the polyurethane thickness.

Abstract:
To investigate the acupuncture sensations elicited by the Japanese style of acupuncture, penetrating acupuncture and skin-touch placebo needles were randomly administered at various insertion depths (5 and 10 mm for the penetrating needles and 1 and 2 mm for the placebo needles) at LI4 to 50 healthy subjects. Among the 12 acupuncture sensations in the Massachusetts General Hospital Acupuncture Sensation Scale (MASS), “heaviness” was the strongest and most frequently reported sensation with the 10 mm needles, but not with the 5 mm needles. There were no significant differences in number of sensations elicited, MASS index, range of spreading, and intensity of needle pain for 5 mm penetration versus 1 mm skin press and 10 mm penetration versus 2 mm skin press. The MASS index with 2 mm skin-touch needles was significantly larger than that with 1 mm skin-touch and 5 mm penetrating needles. The factor structures in the 12 acupuncture sensations between penetrating and skin-touch needles were different. The acupuncture sensations obtained in this study under satisfactorily performed double-blind (practitioner–patient) conditions suggest that a slight difference in insertion depth and skin press causes significant differences in quantity and quality of acupuncture sensations.

Abstract:
Temperature control for an air-conditioner is an ergonomic design variable. Ergonomic studies on the thermal sensations in room environment are relatively few while many studies are available for the thermal sensations in extremely warm/cold conditions. The objective of this study was to find out factors which affect the cutaneous thermal sensations and so to propose new cooling control procedure using the JND(just noticeable difference) values of cutaneous thermal sensation for the design of an air-conditioner. The JNDs of cutaneous thermal sensation corresponding to the skin, room temperatures and temperature change rates were obtained. Based on the result of the study, a new cooling procedure using the concept of JND on thermal sensation was developed and applied to a new air-conditioner model.

Abstract:
RésuméA partir du concept de recherche de sensations, Zuckerman a créé l'échelle de recherche de sensations (Sensation Seeking Scale), composée de 72 items répartis en 5 facteurs. Nous l'avons traduite, et cette version française a été soumise à un échantillon de 102 sujets témoins issus de la population générale. Une retraduction indépendante a pu permettre de valider la version française de l'échelle. Les résultats sont répartis sur une distribution unimodale, avec une note moyenne légèrement supérieure à la médiane, et ils confirment l'existence de sujets obtenant un score élevé de recherche de sensations. Le facteur général se révèle un bon indice global pour évaluer la recherche de sensations du sujet. La recherche de sensations est inversement corrélée pour certains facteurs au sexe, et de manière très significative à l'âge, ce qui rejoint les postulats de Zuckerman et les résultats sur les études américaines antérieures. Ce concept opérationnel trouve actuellement un écho dans des descriptions phénoménologiques et sociales de tels sujets recherchant des sensations. D'autre part, il révèle son intérêt dans le camp de la psychopathologie. La structure de l'échelle est critiquée dans le sens d'un mélange entre plusieurs niveaux émotionnels non équivalents, et la discussion stimulation-sensation pourrait s'ouvrir sur un affinement du concept.

Thesis (S.M. in Art, Culture and Technology)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2013.
Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 56-57).
This thesis explores the sensory human experience through the study of facial expression and non-verbal vocal articulation in hopes of better understanding the range of modes of communications possible both interpersonally and between people and their environment. In contrast to the common presumption that language constitutes the easiest and most effective communicative medium, I argue that it is possible to interact with others and express oneself through alternate senses as well. My investigation of such communicative alternatives focuses particularly on facial expression and the phenomenon of muteness. The former is investigated as a space in which novel sensations are explored in literature and film. As an especially cogent example of filmic use of facial expression I address at length the role facial gestures play in the absence of vocal expression in Carl Dreyer's silent film classic, The Passion of Joan of Arc Constituting the latter focus, muteness is investigated through a historical survey of the development of the stock mute character following the advent of talkie-films. In stark contrast to the silent films that had preceded them, early talkies such as Howard Hawk's characteristic Hollywood screwball film His Girl Friday reveled in the novel freedom of vocal synchronization to create a trademark style of rapid dialogue. Within this development, I focus on the role of silent films in talkies and interrogate the relegation of filmic mutes to the role of sub-character. Moreover, I consider the expressive possibilities of films peopled solely with mute characters and the potential avenues for mutual comprehensibility within such a project, concentrating on how alternative sensory media might enable understanding. In conclusion, I analyze several of my own recent works that focus on either facial expression or the phenomenon of muteness, in keeping with the foregoing discussion of both categories. In the former category of images of the human face, I present two of my video works, The Camouflage (2012) and The Mutes (2012), explaining the creative process behind each project from conceptualization to final execution as well as how the literature and films reviewed in the first chapters informed both projects. Lastly, in the latter category of muteness, I discuss the discourse between sound and other sensory experiences by considering my public art work, You can say ANYTHING to me.

Abstract:
There are good reasons for wanting to adopt an intentionalist account of experiences generally, an account according to which having an experience is a matter of representing the world as being some way or other according to which, that is, such mental episodes have intrinsic, conceptual, representational content. Such an approach promises, for example, to provide a satisfying conception of experiences' subjectivity, their phenomenal character, and their crucial role in constituting reasons for our judgements about the world. It promises this, moreover, without incurring the difficulties that face the adverbialist and the friends of such items as qualia and "private objects". Still, even many of those who have been persuaded of that much are inclined to make an exception of the bodily sensations, since pains and the rest have traditionally been taken to be peculiarly "blank" instances of brute, non-conceptual feeling. In this study, I reject that tradition and argue that sensation experiences are indeed representational, and hence not in that respect exceptional. The idea that they are nevertheless distinctive in other ways vis-à-vis ordinary perceptual experiences has led intentionalists such as John McDowell to adopt an account of their content that is both mentalist and radically subjectivist: an account, in other words, that takes the items represented by such experiences to be mental and constitutively dependent on their being represented. To my mind, such subjectivism is both viciously circular like the parallel view of colours and at odds with the admirably intentionalist aspirations of these views. Hence I turn to consider objectivist versions of intentionalism, views that assimilate sensations to somatosensory perceptual experiences such as those that inform us of, for example, the position of our own limbs. Admittedly, these views not only risk losing the "interiority" of sensations, but I argue that they also cannot be combined with mentalism and that this generates considerable difficulties difficulties that have either been ignored or underestimated by those working with less demanding conceptions of content. Nonetheless, I make a number of preliminary moves to show how such difficulties might be dealt with, and how the objectivist can register even the distinctively "inner" character of sensations by, amongst other things, focussing on the peculiarities of somatosensory content. So the prospects for intentionalism about sensations are, I argue, good.

Abstract:
Medically Unexplained Symptoms (MUS) can be defined as subjectively compelling physical symptoms that, despite appropriate medical examination, cannot be attributed to organic pathology. People with MUS have been associated with more ftmctional impairment, disability and health care utilisation than people with detined medical conditions (Jackson & Kroenke, 2008). Although current treatment of MUS has exhibited some success, the reported effect sizes have been small with a significant number showing no improvement (Kroenke & Swindle, 2000). These limitations illustrate the need to develop and refine theories of MUS in order to contribute to more effective treatment strategies.

Abstract:
En plus des caracteristiques thermiques de l'ambiance, la modelisation actuelle des batiments doit prendre en compte l'occupant, non seulement dans ses reactions physiologiques, mais aussi dans ses reponses sensorielles a son environnement thermique. Ceci permettra, notamment, une gestion energetique optimisee, basee sur la perception de l'ambiance et non sur l'ambiance elle-meme. Le logiciel presente dans ce travail (trim) essaie de repondre a cette necessite: il donne la sensation thermique globale ou locale d'un individu dans un environnement bati. L'idee de base de ce logiciel est l'exploitation des relations, trouvees dans la bibliographie, entre les variables physiques, caracterisant l'ambiance et physiologiques caracterisant l'individu et les jugements sensoriels, exprimes par celui-ci. Ceci a necessite une recherche bibliographique exhaustive, afin d'organiser des tableaux de valeurs de ces variables, qui correspondent aux sensations thermiques, exprimees dans une echelle allant de 3 tres froid a +3 tres chaud. Trim compare la valeur d'entree des variables physiques et physiologiques a ces tableaux de reference, tout en prenant en consideration les couplages eventuels entre les diverses variables. Il peut fonctionner comme programme independant ou commune un processeur du logiciel general de batiment trnsys. Les resultats de validation par des experiences (non utilisees pour l'edition des tableaux de reference) sont satisfaisants. Ce logiciel, en plus de la systematisation d'un nombre tres important d'informations bibliographiques, permet la prediction detaillee des reponses thermosensorielles de l'homme, surtout au niveau local (main, tete, etc. ). Il constitue un outil de travail interessant pour la determination des sensations thermiques de l'individu, et unique lorsque la connaissance des sensations locales est necessaire

Abstract:
Cette etude se penche sur quelques modes contemporains de production choregraphique qui accordent une place cruciale a l'exploration des ressources du "sentir" dans leurs pratiques : ceux de la choregraphe francaise odile duboc, ceux de la choregraphe americaine "post-moderne" trisha brown et ceux de la danse contact improvisation (courant choregraphique initie par steve paxton, dans cette meme mouvance post-moderne americaine). La, la danse est moins basee sur l'apprentissage ou la reproduction de "mouvements" comme on pourrait s'y attendre que sur l'apprentissage d'une aptitude a la "perception" ; les "ateliers" de danse deviennent de veritables laboratoires de recherche ou predominent le "travail des sensations" et le "travail des sens". Les danseurs sollicitent leurs capacites sensorielles, visuelles, tactiles, auditives et meme, dans certaines pratiques, olfacto-gustatives et font emerger de ces sensations, des etats de corps comme des mouvements. Aussi, si les danseurs, explorateurs, par essence, du mouvement se font les explorateurs du sentir, c'est que fondamentalement, une relation profonde voire une coincidence tend a s'etablir entre la sensation et le mouvement. . . Relation remettant completement en cause une certaine conception commune de la "receptivite" par les sens comme de "l'activite". En s'inventant avant tout par la "sensation du mouvement, par la "sensation de poids", par le "con-sentir" a la gravite, par un veritable "consensus", ces travaux choregraphiques font advenir une "kinesthesie" rimant avec une complete "esthesie". . . Ce qui est enjeu est donc la production d'un geste profondement "esthetique" au sens etymologique du mot (aisthesis=sensation), geste "aisthetique" redonnant aux sens et a la matiere "corps" leurs puissances creatrices de realite, et faisant emerger un mode de corporeite autre comme une autre facon "d'etre ensemble", une autre pensee du corps comme une autre pensee tout court
This work deals with some contemporary forms of choregraphic expressions which give a major importance to the exploration of the possibilities of "feeling" in their works : those of the french choreographer odile duboc, the american post-modem choreographer trisha brown and those of the dance contact improvisation ( a choreographic trend initiated by steve paxton, in the same american post-modern movement). For these artists, dance is less based on the learning or the imitation of movements, as one may imagine, but it is more the search for an ability of "sensorial reception"; dance workshops tend to become real research laboratories in which both the "work on sensations" and the "work on senses" prevail. Dancers work on sense, vision, touch and hearing and even, in some workshops, on taste and smell. These sensations lead them to both states of body and movements. Therefore, we may assert that dancers, as natural explorers of the movements, can become explorers of the sensitivity or sensation, because a deep relationship if not a coincidence tends to exist between sensation and movement. . . This relationship questions a particular widespread opinion of both the "reception" and the "action". These choreographic works - which are based above all on the "sensation of the movement", on the " sensation of the weight", on the "con-sensus" with gravity - give birth to a "kinesthesy" rhyming with a full "esthesy". . . What is at stake is the production of a deeply esthetic gesture - "esthetic" being used in its ethymological meaning (aisthesis= sensation), an "aesthetic" gesture giving back their own abilities of creating a reality to both the senses and the body as a material. This gesture gives birth to a different form of "bodyness" and a different way of being together, another way of thinking the body as well as another way of thinking altogether

Abstract:
In this article a haptic tool for industrial designers is presented. The tool should aid them in material selection for product experience and fit in an advanced design studio: the Tangible Virtual Reality environment. A study of related work suggests that six touch sensations are essential in this context. A solution idea for multi-sensation feedback was developed and its intended behavior and functionalities defined. A first concept combines two of the relevant sensations: texture and warmth, the former displayed by a piezo-driven pin array and the latter by a peltier element acting as a heat pump. A simple experiment — matching displayed stimuli to real materials — was conducted to prove the feasibility of the concept. Experimental results confirm that the prototype gives the impression of a certain surface, but the absence of four relevant sensations limits the experience’s realism. However promising, these results confirm the desirability of further integration of touch sensations in one device.

Abstract:
The human thermal response system can be manipulated by the proper combination of applied hot and cold stimuli. Previous research has shown that a sensation of constant cooling can be perceived through the application of certain patterns on the skin. Here we focus on (1) exploring the heat flux characteristics of the thermal display through computer simulations, (2) testing a hypothesis about the relationship between thermal sensation and heat flux, and (3) examining modifications of the thermal display patterns to intensify thermal sensations. To characterize the heat flux patterns of the thermal display, finite element simulations were performed using ANSYS. Simulations were done in two parts: the first examined a small subregion between heating and cooling stimuli, and the second was a larger scale examination of the heat flux profile of the thermal display. It was observed that the heat flux profiles for all thermal patterns were approximately identical. A linear relationship is derived between simulation and experimental results. This relationship was then used to determine the theoretical thermal sensations to determine which are best suited for future physical experimentation on humans.

Abstract:
Thanks to the digital revolution, virtual reality (VR) has getting popularity due to its capacity to immerse users into virtual environments (VEs). VEs are typically limited to visual and auditory cues; however, recent results show that multiple sensory modalities increase the user’s immersion. In this study, an experimental protocol is proposed to recreate multiple tactile, in particular thermal, sensations in VR. The aim is twofold: (1) studying the performance of different devices for creating warm and cold sensations with regards to their efficiency and acoustic disturbance; and (2) investigating the interdependency between visual and tactile stimuli in the perception of temperature. 14 participants performed two experimental studies. Our results show no acoustic disturbance of the materials used. Spot projector is more efficient than fan heater to create a warm sensation; fan + water spray is more efficient than fan alone to create cold sensation. Moreover, no significant contribution of visual cue on the thermal perception was found except for the extremely cold simulation (snow visualization and thermal stimulation performed with fan + water spray).

Abstract:
This paper presents a miniature haptic actuator based on MR fluids, which is designed to convey realistic haptic sensations to users in small electronic devices. The proposed MR actuator can create various kinaesthetic sensations. The haptic sensation, which is generated in the form of resistive force, should vary according to the stroke of the actuator (or the pressed depth of the plunger). Thus, a sensing method for gauging the pressed depth should be integrated into the proposed actuator for demonstrating its real-world haptic application. To determine the pressed depth of the MR actuator, this study proposes an impedance sensing mechanism. The proposed sensing method measures the impedance change of the solenoid coil embedded in the actuator in the form of voltages to estimate the pressed depth. Using a prototype actuator, the sensing performance of the proposed sensing method, was evaluated. The results show that the sensitivity of the proposed impedance sensing method is sufficient to regulate the output resistive force over a small stroke range of the actuator.

Abstract:
Abstract The authors have developed tactile displays which have vibrating pins to convey the surface texture sensation of object surfaces to the user’s fingertip. The tactile sensation intensity scaling was performed to obtain a sensation scale of the display by means of the JND (just noticeable difference) method. One dimensional curves on the scale were displayed to investigate the human sensitivity to an intensity change rate. A tactile texture presentation method based on the image of an object surface is introduced. Two kinds of experiment were performed to discuss the feature of the method. Texture discrimination is the first one, in which the effect of texture element size to the correct separation was discussed. Then the sensations produced by the display and those by real objects were compared regarding several samples that had a major feature of vertical lines and of not containing low frequencies. The results are summarized, which is followed by the future research work.

Abstract:
The article investigates functional techniques of extralinguistic expression in multimedia texts; the effectiveness of figurative expressions as a reaction to modern events in Ukraine and their influence on the formation of public opinion is shown. Publications of journalists, broadcasts of media resonators, experts, public figures, politicians, readers are analyzed. The language of the media plays a key role in shaping the worldview of the young political elite in the first place. The essence of each statement is a focused thought that reacts to events in the world or in one’s own country. The most popular platform for mass information and social interaction is, first of all, network journalism, which is characterized by mobility and unlimited time and space. Authors have complete freedom to express their views in direct language, including their own word formation. Phonetic, lexical, phraseological and stylistic means of speech create expression of the text. A figurative word, a good aphorism or proverb, a paraphrased expression, etc. enhance the effectiveness of a multimedia text. This is especially important for headlines that simultaneously inform and influence the views of millions of readers. Given the wide range of issues raised by the Internet as a medium, research in this area is interdisciplinary. The science of information, combining language and social communication, is at the forefront of global interactions. The Internet is an effective source of knowledge and a forum for free thought. Nonlinear texts (hypertexts) – «branching texts or texts that perform actions on request», multimedia texts change the principles of information collection, storage and dissemination, involving billions of readers in the discussion of global issues. Mastering the word is not an easy task if the author of the publication is not well-read, is not deep in the topic, does not know the psychology of the audience for which he writes. Therefore, the study of media broadcasting is an important component of the professional training of future journalists. The functions of the language of the media require the authors to make the right statements and convincing arguments in the text. Journalism education is not only knowledge of imperative and dispositive norms, but also apodictic ones. In practice, this means that there are rules in media creativity that are based on logical necessity. Apodicticity is the first sign of impressive language on the platform of print or electronic media. Social expression is a combination of creative abilities and linguistic competencies that a journalist realizes in his activity. Creative self-expression is realized in a set of many important factors in the media: the choice of topic, convincing arguments, logical presentation of ideas and deep philological education. Linguistic art, in contrast to painting, music, sculpture, accumulates all visual, auditory, tactile and empathic sensations in a universal sign – the word. The choice of the word for the reproduction of sensory and semantic meanings, its competent use in the appropriate context distinguishes the journalist-intellectual from other participants in forums, round tables, analytical or entertainment programs. Expressive speech in the media is a product of the intellect (ability to think) of all those who write on socio-political or economic topics. In the same plane with him – intelligence (awareness, prudence), the first sign of which (according to Ivan Ogienko) is a good knowledge of the language. Intellectual language is an important means of organizing a journalistic text. It, on the one hand, logically conveys the author’s thoughts, and on the other – encourages the reader to reflect and comprehend what is read. The richness of language is accumulated through continuous self-education and interesting communication. Studies of social expression as an important factor influencing the formation of public consciousness should open up new facets of rational and emotional media broadcasting; to trace physical and psychological reactions to communicative mimicry in the media. Speech mimicry as one of the methods of disguise is increasingly becoming a dangerous factor in manipulating the media. Mimicry is an unprincipled adaptation to the surrounding social conditions; one of the most famous examples of an animal characterized by mimicry (change of protective color and shape) is a chameleon. In a figurative sense, chameleons are called adaptive journalists. Observations show that mimicry in politics is to some extent a kind of game that, like every game, is always conditional and artificial.
