@vox: Someone else can make you squirm with one touch, but try tickling yourself, and nothing happens. Why? Investigator Konstantina Kilteni went looking for answers and found something surprising. Socrates, Aristotle, Galileo, and Darwin all wondered about tickling, but there’s very little actual research on it. Two millennia later, we still don’t know what ticklishness is for. This week on Unexplainable, Noam Hassenfeld asks Konstantina what’s going on in our brains when we get tickled. Watch the full episode on Netflix or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
