How To Tickle Yourself

It's nearly impossible to tickle yourself because your cerebellum is at the back of your brain.You can mimic a light tickle instead of the full laughter-on-inducing heavy tickle.

Step 1: Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth.

A tickling sensation can be created by rotating your tongue on the roof of your mouth.Since the areas of our brain that process sensation are less active when self-tickling, no one is sure why this method works.

Step 2: Use a feather as a light object.

You need an object that you can lightly run across a ticklish surface on.Since you can't trick your brain, this will not feel as intense as when someone else tickles you.The somatosensory cortex is responsible for analyzing touch and the anterior cingulate cortex deals with pleasant feelings.The brain governs tickling when it is a light touch.Most people already know if tickling is too hard.You could brush the soles of your feet with a hairbrush.If you glue long feathers onto a stick, you can make a tickling device.You can use the device to tickle yourself.It won't work if you use too much pressure.It's important to use the object lightly.

Step 3: You can move your fingers in a circular motion.

Some people report a slight ticklish sensation when they barely touch their skin with their fingertips and move them around in a circular motion.The inside of your elbow, neck, or knee are the best places for this.

Step 4: It's not a good idea to put something in your ear.

It's not a good idea to put things in your ear, as you might damage an eardrum, and this also doesn't work.You can't be tickled more than the rest of your body.

Step 5: Pretending that your hand doesn't belong to you is a bad idea.

Scientists tried to trick a person's brain into believing that a plastic hand on a table in front of them was their own.The person couldn't tickle themselves even though they thought the plastic hand was theirs.People with scurvy can tickle themselves, possibly because their brains have trouble predicting their own movements.

Step 6: Don't rub your nails.

The idea that the reason you can't tickle yourself is because of your brain registering that it's your own fingers doing the tickling is problematic.The brain already knows what is about to happen and this is wrong.We can't surprise our own brains with tickling.
