English Musician

Andrea Bocelli

When I sing, I think mostly about the music. But I know that, through singing, my body shows everything that I am. I am a very passionate man and I suffer a lot and have a lot of joy also. In my opinion, it is very important for me to find this stimulus and motivation for singing.

Everything changes as a mother. Yes, work has changed. The projects that I choose are even more important to me now. The world he's growing up in and the kind of stimulus that is out there; they are so precious and I'd do anything to protect him.

American Actress

If you look at the most meaningful science fiction, it didn't come from watching other films. We seem to be in a place now where filmmakers make films based on other films because that's where the stimuli and influence comes from.

South African Director

John Breaux

Any that is why I think any kind of a stimulus package is going to have to help people who are without work, without a job, help them have health insurance.

Hannah Gadsby

I get anxiety and distressed from external stimuli quite easily, so if I'm in a constant state of self-protection, it's exhausting.

Australian Comedian

My Life As an Adventure...

 And even sea slugs flinch when they know they're about to receive a noxious stimulus. That means they have some memory of physical sensations. We still have a lot to learn about animal pain. As our knowledge grows, it may one day allow us to live in a world where we don't cause pain needlessly.

How do animals...

 our sensory experience of the world would be an undifferentiated mass rather than the discrete objects we actually apprehend. For science, the task is to find where this network lies, how it is formed, and how it interacts with external stimuli. For philosophy, the challenge is to rethink

Ideasthesia: How do...

 There's lots of supernormal stimuli for sexiness. And there's even supernormal stimuli for cuteness. Here’s a pretty good example. It’s important that we love babies, and that we not be put off by, say, messy diapers. So babies have to attract our affection and our nurturing, and they do.

Why do we see illusions?...

 the experience of pain, and a biological process called nociception. Nociception is part of the nervous system’s protective response to harmful or potentially harmful stimuli. Sensors in specialized nerve endings detect mechanical, thermal, and chemical threats.

The mysterious science...

 they also found signs that sundews do not curl up when touched with a gentle breaststroke or by small stones suggesting they are able to distinguish between stimuli and even save their carnivorous energy solely for prey but with 25 percent of the world's

These Sticky Traps Are...

 individual ants do interact with one another through touch, sound and chemical signals. These stimuli accomplish many things from serving as an alarm to other ants if one is killed, to signaling when a queen is nearing the end of her reproductive life.

 It's very much like they brought into this world the reflex that orients them to people, but it has no traction. It's almost as if that stimulus -- you -- you're not exerting influence on what happens as they navigate their daily lives.

Ami Klin: A new way to...

 this enabled me to actually watch them moving from being completely awake to being completely unaware of all those noxious and terrifying stimuli that come in from the external world now watching brains dissolve and reassemble
