Innociception is not wanted.

I want a word that is defined as "the neural processes of encoding and processing pleasantstimuli."[

For your references:

Nociception
From Wikipedia

Nociception (synonym: nocioception or nociperception) is defined as "the neural processes of encoding and processing noxious stimuli."[1] It is the afferent activity produced in the peripheral and central nervous systems by stimuli that have the potential to damage tissue.[2][3] This activity is initiated by nociceptors, (also called pain receptors), that can detect mechanical, thermal or chemical changes above a set threshold. Once stimulated, a nociceptor transmits a signal along the spinal cord, to the brain. Nociception triggers a variety of autonomic responses and may also result in a subjective experience of pain in sentient beings.[3] Nociceptive neurons generate trains of action potentials in response to painful stimuli, and the frequency of firing signals the intensity of the pain.[4]

@oristarA,

Nociception is the ability to feel pain. Then there is antinociception, which means an increased tolerance to pain.

Nocere (Latin) means to do harm.

That is very cool.
Thank you.

But I want a word that is defined as "the neural processes of encoding and processing pleasant stimuli." That is why I said that I liked JTT's yesciception.

OneLook presents this report:
Sorry, no dictionaries indexed in the selected category contain the word yesciception.

If we stick to using the new word, it is possible one day the neologism will go around and enter the sacred hall of language registers. Razz

I've got a good reference for you, JTT:

Autonomous sensory meridian response
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term "autonomous sensory meridian response" (ASMR) is a neologism for a claimed biological phenomenon, characterized as a distinct, pleasurable tingling sensation often felt in the head, scalp or peripheral regions of the body in response to various visual, auditory, olfactory, and cognitive stimuli. Tom Stafford, a professor at the University of Sheffield, says, "It might well be a real thing, but it's inherently difficult to research."[1]

...the term "meridian" was used as a euphemism for orgasm.[3]

What an interesting coincidence, Ori!

These feeling are most definitely a real thing. I've been experiencing them as I've been A2King. They've come from listening to old favs from the 60s and 70s.

Though they are frequent for me in certain situations, mostly to do with music, they have never reached anywhere near level of intensity approximating orgasm. They are more slight shivers experienced in peripheral regions of my body - never the groin area, that accompany pleasant memories.

Do you ever experience these autonomous sensory meridian responses?

If I can help to replicate these ASMRs in people, will I be able to put the makers of Viagra out of business? Smile
