if there is no physical property to sound, how does it create these emotions. Think blind people, with no visual association.I understand there will be a chemical reaction occur in your brain to generate each feeling from a specific sound. Is there any research as to how or why this works. If so is it possible to relive pain just by hearing a specific sound, or give other sensations just through auditory stimulation. Say feeling drunk by just hearing a set of auditory signals.

This is like asking "if water is just made of hydrogen and oxygen, how does is quench my thirst." These emotions from sound are like that of smell, it is all memory association. This changes with every person and if I hear something, can it truly make me feel drunk, or do I feel what I perceive to be drunk?

The feeling of approaching an orgasm is different for each male and is extremely difficult to describe. Certain muscles contract and your brain releases certain hormones, but other than that the feeling is individual (this question is akin to a guy asking a woman how painful childbirth is; there's no way an individual can measure another individual's pain or other physical feelings)

It's clear that humans and animals (especially those close to us in the evolutionary tree), share similar chemical responses in their brain when faced with highly emotional situations.  Whether it be fear, contentment, mating urges, we have a lot of analogous mechanisms going on.  On this basis alone, there is a pretty strong argument that animals have feelings.\nOne possible counter-argument, however, is based on the definition that for certain chemical responses to be called feelings, that the being in question needs to have a conscious awareness of their state.  With this defition, it becomes much harder to say whether animals experience feelings in the same conscious manner even though the neurochemical signatures are similar.\nMy opinion is that this definition based on conscious understanding is a little specious, as it's based on an ongoing desire by some to try to define humans out of the context of the natural world... and to claim that we are categorically better than the other animals.  \nIf the neurochemical basis for consciousness is ever discovered we'll be able to quickly check which animals have this, and I suspect we'll find that many are conscious.  If this is so, then their feelings will be as real as human ones in all senses.

heres the answer.. take some acid.. then you will see the sounds and hear the pictures.. then your ears will have three receptors and your eyes one.

This helps distort the pain sensation. There are a different kinds of pain receptors, and one of them can be distored by touch, like rubbing it or shaking it.

no. \n\nit doesn't make you blind.\n\ninstead, it makes you see wonderful things about your life that have always been there, though you never noticed them.\n\nit doesn't make you deaf.\n\ninstead, it makes you hear many fascinating sounds that you never cared about before.\n\nit doesn't make you mute.\n\ninstead, it makes you creatively express yourself and your emotions more\n\nit doesn't make you brainless.\n\ninstead it renews your brain and feeds your mind.

That effect is real and the explanation is very simple: it's our ears detecting tiny sound reflections from the surrounding environment. Around us there is always noise, although we may not perceive it consciously. But when our forehead is close to a reflecting surface, we perceive those tiny echoes, even if we are blindfolded.\nIt's a very rough version of what bats do all the time.

Your question sounds simple, but it in fact opens a whole can of worms!\n\n What is it to see, feel or taste? We have reflex actions and conscious decisions. Our "conscious world" is in fact a clever trick by our brain and we always lag slightly behind what is really happening. I'll try and explain:\n\nIn 1976, a team of researchers led by the German neurologist Hans Kornhuber set up an experiment to measure the time delay between the brain activity required to move a finger and actually making the movement. The speed of nerve impulses suggested the time delay would be around 200 milliseconds similar to that of reflex actions. Yet the researchers found the delay was much longer. This was at least consistent with the idea that anything involving the conscious mind involves a lot of processing. The researchers found something else, however: the brain activity began around 800 ms before people finally got around to moving their finger. This was a startling discovery, with disturbing implications for the long- cherished notion of free will. For the sheer size of the delay hinted that our actions are not initiated by our conscious mind at all, but by the non- conscious brain activity taking place out of our perception. \n\nAn even more perplexing discovery was made in 1979 by Libet and his colleagues during studies of the effect of applying direct stimuli to the brain. Again, common sense suggested just a short delay between applying the stimulus and conscious detection - but again the researchers found a substantial delay, of around 500 ms. They also found something else: that the brain appears to "back-date'' the conscious response, thus creating the impression there was hardly any delay at all. \n\nThese two findings not only cast new light on the link between brain activity and consciousness, but also gave some hints about what consciousness is actually for. \n\nFirst although our actions are not initiated by our conscious mind at all our consciousness can at least veto any actions generated by our non-conscious brain that we deem unacceptable. Free will is thus not about consciously choosing to act in certain ways, but about consciously choosing not to act. \n\nSecond, Libet’s experiments point towards a reason why the brain expends so much effort to create consciousness: it binds together sensory inputs from the outside world to produce a consistent and reliable model of what is happening “out there”.

It's actually a medical condition known as synesthesia,  which is a phenomenon that triggers sense when another emotion or sense is felt.   I know some people that see colors when thinking about certain numbers. For example,  the number 6 tends to be blue (according to them). So don't be afraid because it is sort of a "gift", and it actually can help you understand music better.

They feel ever thing just they don't want to express it. What you see in xxx film show is just for you entertainment in reality they are all dumb that does not mean they don't like it or want it rather they enjoy it more then you. When your ear itch and you use your finger for get rid of itching its your ear that gives you pleasant feeling not your finger. UNDERSTAND....!!!!

This answer really relates to sensation and perception.  Sensation is the act of detecting incoming environmental information via sensory organs.  Perception is the interpretation, the assigning of meaning to sensation.  Since we can break down the electromagnetic spectrum, and understand the potential environemental energies, there would be no surprise there.  \n\nHowever, perception would be based upon the types of sensory organs and also the equivalent "neural" system being used by a lifeform.  Perceptually, a lifeform dissimilar to that of ours MIGHT perceive things QUITE differently.\n\nJust in the human species, there are people who perceive colors through other senses (see Synaesthesia link below).

No, but you can see the effects of sound. Sound is a wave, like radio waves, microwaves etc... Sound can be recorded and the intensity of it can be graphed to show the effects.

Electroencephalograms (EEG) detect and record brain waves.  There's apparently no relation between the forms of brain waves and your actual thoughts; or at least, if there is a correlation it's a very complex one.  You won't hear your thoughts, you'll hear your brain.  The best analogy that I can come up with, is that you can hear your stomach rumble, but that doesn't tell you what you had for lunch.\n\nAs for what it would sound like, that's a great topic for a science fair exhibit.  It would probably depend on how far you increased the frequency.  I imagine it would come out as a sort of "warble" or white noise; but I don't know.  It might be more interesting to hook the output to an oscillator, so that the frequency of the sound changes with the amplitude of the brain waves.

Your absolutely correct. We receive both light and sound wave energy when we see or hear anything.\nI don't believe that's what gives us that strained feeling if we watch TV for extended periods - I believe that is just our body's way of telling us that it's time to rest a bit and give the ol' eyes a little time to recuperate. \nThat's because our bodies use more energy to process these signals than the signals provide.

Hm.  I'm no doctor and most of my knowledge concerns forensic and mortuary science.  Tinnitus, ringing in the ears, can actually encompass both ring and a rythymic beating sound.  This is an entirely subjective experience. Check it out on wikipedia and see if it matches what you describe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus\n\nIt may also be Bruit, similiar to Tinnitus, which is caused by the way that blood rushes past an obstruction in a blood vessel.  This can be heard by another person using a stethoscope.\n\nIt may also be a mild hallucination.  I hate to say that though.  The only thing that really gave me cause to say that is your statement that you "feel like it means something."  Hallucinations with paranoia, which is what I would consider believing an unknown stimulus to mean something, are often not good things, not at all good.\n\nGet checked out by a doctor, it's more likely to be something like tinnitus or bruit.  And when you're there make sure you describe to him/her everything that you described to the Answers community above.

Some people experience a phenomenon known as synaesthesia. That occurs when people perceive multiple senses in repsonse to one stimulus. For example, many synaesthetes report being able to smell the colors they see, even if there's no chemical around to cause them to smell something. It's just a quirk in their brain.\n\nI can "see" loud noises if my eyes are shut. Loud clattering and crashing sounds cause me to see a flash of white when my eyes are shut. Likewise, I perceive colors when I think of certain numbers. \n\n0 = white\n1 = black on a white field\n2 = yellow\n3 = green\n4 = light blue\n5 = red\n6 = brown\n7 = magenta\n8 = dark blue\n9 = brown
