The numerous studies and experiences that hove been  arried out, induced the intervention of two mechanisms i·he result being, ·che bloking of ·;·he sensitive sensorial stimulant. lt is ·¡·hought ·;·hat a first acoustic stimulant mechanism and the analgesic arrive ·;·o the same thalamic station that makes the impulse that arrives first "to recruit neurons in favour of the corresponding way, resting only the posible way of access to the cortex of ·rhe stimulant. This would explain why, if ¡·he acoustic impulse arrives f¡rst, ·;·he painful stimulant does not register or does it moderately. Other mechanism would be that induces the intervention of the stimulant of the net-substance, as same plays a very important role in i·he mechanism of caution, making ·;·hat i·he individual treats with increasing intensity the stimulant that most interests him. The experiences show ·;·hat ·;·he auditive impulse can be blocked by other sensoria! impulses.
