AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the phenomenon of experiencing intense sensations in response to music, often described as feeling watched or having a "crawling" skin sensation. Participants explore the idea that these sensations may be linked to electrical impulses in the nervous system, potentially triggered by the emotional connection to music. The conversation delves into the role of endorphins and other chemicals in producing these feelings, suggesting they can arise in both positive and negative emotional states. There is an interest in understanding the physiological and emotional effects of these sensations, including their speed and the underlying mechanisms that cause them. The discussion highlights the complexity of human responses to music and the potential evolutionary significance of these sensations.

I know I'm not the only one who really has felt anything like this. If you ever get that feeling that runs through your body that you are being watched or your skin crawls. Being one who listens to a lot of music if I relax I usually get great sensations that go through my body. The music obviously triggers it because I love the music so much, but what exactly is going on here. I would guess it is some kind of electrical impluse sent through the nervous system but why do we get it? I have also noticed when I feel it go through my whole body I can feel it actually moving. I'm guessing that this would be the speed at which the signals are sent through the body or something which I know has been determined but I can't seem to find. I'm basically trying to understand what this sensation is and why it occurs. Maybe the chemicals involved that trigger it, (if any) and anything else about it.

At one time our lifes depended on getting those feelings. Endorphins more then likely jump start the feelings.
 
Do these feeling have any emotional of physical effects. I noticed that they can be there when bad feelings are present and also when good feelings are.

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
