anybody FEEL thoughts in their head?

Posted by badhaircut on October 5, 2004, at 15:36:31

I sometimes actually physiologically *feel* a change inside my skull when I switch from one thought to another. I know neurons in the brain don't have sensation, but these feelings are as real as feelings in my gut. It doesn't happen a lot. Some of the sensations are more comfortable than others, and they relate to specific lines of thought (they're not random).

I don't think I'm imagining it. My guess is that I'm feeling sudden changes in blood vessels as different brain areas get activated. Or maybe a new thought is more or less stressful and my eye muscles tighten or relax a little. Or something.

Anybody else get feelings like this?

[I posted this question on the meds board a couple months ago. One person reported similar feelings.]
