Thermal pleasure in built environments: alliesthesia in different thermoregulatory zones (2016, result): “…the asymmetric exposures of Sequence 2 in this experiment (Figure 10) illustrates the point that the local–global skin temperature contrast is associated with positive thermal pleasure responses, similar to what was found by Zhang et al. (2010a, 2010b, 2010c) in their ‘opposite sensation’ model.”
Thermal pleasure in built environments: spatial alliesthesia from air movement (2017, background): “…Fanger et al., 1988); to avoid any confounding effects of ocular discomfort from air movement directed onto the face despite some studies (e.g., Zhang et al., 2010; Zhai et al., 2013) showing no significant increase in eye-dryness discomfort from elevated air movement directed at the face; and…”
