Power law and fractional derivative models can measure analgesia

Abstract

It is known that the human brain reacts favorably to whatever it perceives as beautiful. It is also equally known that beauty is in fact an ideal symmetry in the objects, phenomena and natural processes of any kind. Using this insight, we have shown that patterns can be build to represent the human body in a concise, structural and geometrical form. In this paper we use the same insights to deduct the process of brain activation to mechanical stimuli of the skin receptors. This work is aimed to discuss the understanding of the pain transmission process in the body using tools from mathematics, i.e. fractional calculus.
