Abstract
Seeing someone plunge into an ice-cold bath induces feelings of cold. However, it was recently demonstrated that viewing another's skin temperature change also induces a small congruent temperature change in the observer. This synchronization suggests top-down influences on peripheral temperature regulation mechanisms and lends supports to somatic-simulation theories of inter-subjectivity.
