Letter: Letters: Ticklish issue

Published 7 August 1993

From L. WEISKRANTZ

It has been brought to my attention that you passed on a request for papers
on ‘why you can’t tickle yourself’ in Feedback (10 July). In your issue of 6
May 1971 is an account of a paper that appeared in Nature (1971, vol 230, p
598), ‘Preliminary observations on tickling oneself’, by myself, J. Elliott,
and C. Darlington, together with a nice cartoon. The paper received a lot
of attention at the time, and I still get requests for it. I have sent one
to your American requester.
