About this book

Calculates the different sensitivities of the body's most receptive parts; the density of touch sensors in skin explains why some parts of the body have a lower pain threshold, and demonstrates the brain's role in the experience of physical pain through experiments with electric shocks, painkillers, and hypnosis.
