Nociception should not be used, as it is about pain, and the designer should only understand that nociception is beyond the boundary of what can be done to create a design.

The sense of stretch allows the body to register the pulling of the muscles with muscle spindles. Like tension, it indicates an amount of stress on the muscle. Again, the stress can be too much, but it can also be a beneficial stress to improve the body and allow it to understand the body’s state.… Continue reading Stretch

Tension is both an indicator and cause for stress. The stress could be good or useful, or the stress could cause the individual harm. In most instances, tension in the muscles causes movement and bending. This is minimal stress. However, the tension can also cause the body to seize and cause aching or even sharp… Continue reading Tension

Proprioception allows us to sense where our body is by determining position and orientation of our muscles. This is one of the most important senses to get along in the world, because it governs our motions and movement through spaces. In order to use proprioception as a design tool, we must encourage or even force… Continue reading Proprioception

Although the physiological mechanics are different, heat thermoception goes together with cold thermoception. However, like with cold thermoception, sensing heat requires a baseline that we can see to experience the differential in temperature. This baseline can be the ambient or tepid temperature, or for more dramatic effect, we can use colder temperatures to have a… Continue reading Heat Thermoception
