Full transcript

Try tickling yourself. Go on. Nothing, right? But why? Your brain constantly predicts the sensations your own movements will cause. It sends a movement signal and a matching touch prediction simultaneously — cancelling the surprise. Someone else's touch carries no such prediction — your brain is caught completely off guard. That unpredictability triggers the tickle response — laughter, squirming, the whole reaction. Your brain predicts your own tickles before you even feel them. You can't outsmart yourself.
