Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yeah! I have that! I've always wondered what it is and if everyone has it. I love this group! Re: Don't know if this is generally possible in humans, or in some, or just me... Doing consciously (what feels subjectively like) contracting a muscle inside the head, behind ears creates (what feels subjectively like) an overwhelming " curtain " of rumbling noise. After it, a sort of feeling of relaxation or sleepiness.. . I can do that in quick impulses, or a wave up to ~5 seconds. It may be repeated. Not so pleasant to be addictive, but may be handy to " insulate " from overwhelming sounds or experiences. It's unobservable from the outside, no movement or macroscopic noise. I believe it's a real muscle because it has a limited length, and repeating feels like " fatigue " . May be a cranial nerve (like those controlling face movements) controlling constricting blood flow, or the inner ear link (Eustachio's canal). Deep yawning may comprise it. PASS IT ON! Visit http://www.thehungersite.com to give food to the hungry with just a click -- every day and at no cost to you. HOW IT WORKS When you click the " Give Free Food " button (once a day per person) at http://www.thehungersite.com, this simple action gives over a cup of fortified food to a hungry person. It costs you nothing. Funding is paid by site sponsors and food is distributed by two leading nonprofit hunger relief organizations: Mercy Corps and America's Second Harvest. (A valid site -- I checked it out -- JP) As Margaret Mead said, " Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world: Indeed it's the only thing that ever has.
