In the past, much research has delved into the physiological mechanisms for heat retainment and generation upon cold stimulation, most notably (Rhoades et al, 2006). Thermoregulation is coordinated by the hypothalamus upon stimulation by peripheral and central chemoreceptors. What distinguishes the current study from precedence is its research into the physiological effects of conflicting information received by central and peripheral receptors on the human body. It is currently unknown what will occur when the former perceives a decreased temperature and the latter perceives an increase in temperature. In an effort to observe the aforementioned the subject submerged both their legs into ice cold water and a fan blowing cold air was placed
