Heart It
Many studies have focused on the benefits of touch for the person
receiving it. Earlier studies showed that softness and smoothness
stimulate parts of the brain associated with emotion and reward.
Therefore, this "illusion" that other people are softer ensures that
reaching out and touching another person comes as its own reward. This
rewarding illusion acts as a kind of "social glue," bonding people to
each other.
