Extract

I propose to describe in this essay some experiments which I have conducted upon the limits in time of separate tactile and thermal sensibilities. I shall endeavour to account for the variations seen in the limitations in conscious sensation of the different senses; and also to formulate a general proposition as to the effect on consciousness of stimuli increasing gradually in rapidity of application.
