The researchers are working with their own researchers in the United Kingdom, as well as in the United States, to explore the phenomenon.
"We are exploring an interesting subject in a new way: the concept of goosebump-like sensation," says Sarah Burch, a researcher with the University of Michigan, who led the study. "It's a natural part of the body, and we think it might be important to show what we are doing here to the human brain."
Burch and her coauthors published their findings in the journal Science in July. (Source: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S03020872700609717.full)
As for the body, it's not only a natural part of the body: the brain's processing of emotions, for instance, is regulated by a large number of parts, too. In fact, scientists have found that people who have a goosebumps trigger experience similar feelings to those of people who don't have a goosebumps trigger.
"Our work is not just a way of looking at the effects of goosebumps on brains. It's a way to know about the interaction between the brain and the goose," says Burch. "It's a way of working with the environment. It's the way of the goose."When the government of Saudi Arabia announced that it is not going to allow a referendum on the independence of the kingdom, many critics have argued that such a decision is a major step on the way to a "yes" vote.
Now, a delegation of some of the most prominent Islamic scholars has made a similar case. The two leading clerics of the Islamic scholars' institute in Riyadh, the Islamic Council of Saudi Arabia (ICS), and the Islamic Society of Washington (ISIS), are set to hold an emergency meeting on Saturday to discuss the referendum.
The meeting should be chaired by the head of the Islamic Society of Washington, Imam Abul Haq al-Khazali, an important figure in the Saudi Shi'ism. The group's most prominent cleric, Imam Qassim al-Zayyif, is a staunch critic of the Saudi government's policy of taking over Iraq.
The meeting should also include leaders from the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Saudi Arabia; representatives of the Islamic Society of Washington, the Islamic Council of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Society of Washington.
