Why Feet Are Ticklish: The Science and Sensation of Feather Tickling #3333523 (License: Personal Use)

This hand-drawn illustration depicts a bare human foot reacting to a light feather stroke on the sole, with curved motion lines emphasizing the reflexive withdrawal. The feather is shown mid-air, angled toward the arch, while the toes curl slightly-a visual representation of the tickle reflex (knismesis or gargalesis). The clean, minimal style focuses attention on the interaction between stimulus and response.
