Figure 6

Skin surface temperature of a single subject during 12 minutes of stimulation by a heat-transfer control device set to 42°C. The device was set to increase from body temperature to the target temperature at the following rates: 0.6°C/min, 1.1°C/min, 1.5°C/min, and 5.6°C/min (modified from [9]).
