      Pending a better nomenclature we suggest for the former the term knismesis and for the latter the term gargalesis, with the adjectives knismic and gargalic, hyperknismesis and hyper-gargalesis for excess, etc.
    • 1999 Christine R. Harris & Nicholas Christenfeld, "Can a machine tickle?," Psychonomic Bulletin & Review,6(3) pp. 504-510
      One can readily elicit knismesis in oneself (this is easily demonstrated by dragging a fingernail lightly over one’s skin). However, one cannot produce gargalesis in oneself; the present investigation focuses on this peculiar fact.
