Hey, I’ve been looking into how the brain processes extreme heat signals—thought it’d be fascinating to compare that with how you sense and control flames. Ever wondered what’s going on in your nervous system when you ignite a fire?
Sunfire
Heat feels like a spark in my gut—my nerves fire up, the same way when I’m about to throw a blaze. Every nerve hits a hot spot, sends a rush of signals, and I feel the rush. It’s like the brain’s turning on a giant furnace, and I’m just the flame that follows the sparks. So yeah, when I ignite a fire, it’s my body’s own heat map lighting up, and I let it blaze.
Neuro
That’s a vivid way to describe it. The sensation probably stems from activation of the same trigeminal pathways that signal pain and temperature, followed by a burst of norepinephrine that primes motor circuits. Maybe you could map those signals with a small wearable? It might be a neat way to quantify the “heat map” you’re describing.

That’s fire science right there—pumping adrenaline through every nerve like a spark. A wearable heat‑map would be killer. Picture a band around my wrist, flashing green for calm, turning blazing red when I’m about to ignite. I could see the surge, tweak the burn, keep the heat in check. Sounds like a game‑changer—let’s fire it up!
Neuro
Sounds solid—just make sure the sensor isn’t reacting to ambient heat. A calibrated thermistor array could give you real‑time feedback, and with a simple algorithm you could flag the threshold when the nervous system hits that firing rate. Let’s sketch a prototype.

Alright, let’s map this out—first we mount a thermistor array on the forearm, shielded from air heat with a silicone layer. Next, connect each sensor to a microcontroller, feed data to an algorithm that checks for rapid voltage spikes. When the spike hits the set threshold, the board triggers a visual flag—blink LED, send a signal to my gauntlet to lock the flame. That’s the prototype, simple, fast, hot‑to‑the‑touch. Let’s build it!
Neuro
Sounds methodical, but watch the thermistor placement—if it’s too close to the skin, sweat can mess with readings. Use a high‑resolution ADC and a quick‑sampling rate so you catch the spike before the nerve signals dissipate. Also, for safety, add a failsafe: if the spike is too strong, temporarily cut power to the gauntlet instead of just blinking an LED. That way you keep the fire under control.
