SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the physiological sensations experienced in the body due to emotional stimuli, particularly in response to music. Participants identify that these sensations may be linked to electrical impulses transmitted through the nervous system, potentially influenced by neurotransmitters such as endorphins. The conversation highlights the dual nature of these sensations, occurring during both positive and negative emotional states, and emphasizes the need for further exploration into the underlying mechanisms and chemical processes involved.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic neurobiology, particularly the nervous system's role in sensation.
  • Familiarity with neurotransmitters, specifically endorphins and their effects on emotions.
  • Knowledge of how music can influence emotional and physiological responses.
  • Awareness of the relationship between emotions and physical sensations.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the role of endorphins in emotional and physical sensations.
  • Explore the effects of music on the nervous system and emotional responses.
  • Investigate the physiological mechanisms behind sensations triggered by emotional stimuli.
  • Learn about the relationship between electrical impulses in the nervous system and sensory experiences.
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for psychologists, neuroscientists, musicians, and anyone interested in the interplay between emotions and physical 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.
