For example, in many cases people who have lost limbs often still have the awareness of a limb that is no longer there. This phenomenon is known as Phantom Limbs. Individuals who experience this will often times try to use their missing limbs without or even feel sensations in said limbs. The reason behind this is probably due to the fact that although the limb is missing the nerves in the nervous system that send signals to the limb are not and there fore there may be a mixing of signals in the brain and spinal cord. Phantom Limbs is one of the most interesting way in which people experience sensation differently. Another way in which different people experience these sensations differently is through tactical acuity. Tactical acuity is the ability to detect details on the skin which can be measure by comparing two-point thresholds in the brain which can tell us which parts of the body are more sensitive than others. The reason that some areas of the body may be more sensitive on different people may be because in certain people more receptors are concentrated in different areas. This idea also accounts for why some people are more ticklish than
