thinking.....?

Question

In regards to the reliability of the human senses the author says that, baring some isolated and specific exceptions, they are remarkably reliable. Unlike the lecture, the author talks about the adaptability of senses. He gives us the example of studies that take place with volunteers wearing goggles that distort there vision. During these studies after time the volunteers are able to cope effectively. He contributes this to learning and experience being a major factor in the development of perceptual abilities. He continues on the subject by talking about Jesus healing a blind man. With just vision, but no visual experience our brains don’t know how to cope. On the topic of pain the author show the great importance of our largest sense organ, skin. He explains the importance of it due to the development of infants, but he spends more time on the topic of pain. Though most of us don’t like pain the author shows us that without it we would severely damage our bodies. Pain receptors in our skin warn us that we are going to do damage and motivate us to take action. For example you touch something hot pain is felt so you take our hand away… if we didn’t have that ability instead of a simple burn we could possibly do serious damage. Most interesting to me is the importance of pain. I never thought about the ability to really harm yourself if you didn’t feel pain. I saw it more as you take the good with the bad. Another words to have the wonderful feeling of hugging my kids, I have to endure pain of spilling hot coffee on myself because both occasions use the sense organ skin. I would also like to learn more about people with Hansen’s disease.

Answer 1

wow you are REALLY thinking.
Are you comparing the sensation of seeling actual pain to loving emotional pain or an organ sensor in basic training?
pain feels like
ow , coffee, hot
to
umm good. I like hug from child.
both feel.
and do you have Hansons? I dont know what that is

Answer 2

Long question not really sure if you are asking or telling us what you know about the human Body. But I can tell you that Hanson's decease is a very rare and dangerous decease. I could not imagine what it must be like to break your leg and not know you broke it. It is also fascinating to wonder what it must be like to not feel pain at all. Must be like when you come home from the dentist and your mouth is numb from the injection. Then you bite your gum without even realizing it till you taste a little blood. Strange.

Answer 3

You seem to be under the impression that we know who the hell you're talking about when you say 'the author'. We don't. In addition, I cannot detect even the hint of a question in your very long post. Help me out here.

Answer 4

Leprosy (Hansen’s disease)..........there's not much of that going around in Europe and North America...or Asia for that matter.

Could you please rephrase your question so that it makes some sort of sense to us.
Thanks
