Physiology & Medicine / Re: Is it common or useful to be able to control goosebumps, and pulse, at will?

Had this "skill" since probably about 6 or 7 years old. Never thought about it much. I used to associate it with the color blue.
I can handle weather extremes pretty easily, but I have a time limit of about 30 minutes to an hour. (Warm clothes/hot weather, flipflops/cold weather)
Control of tensor tympani muscle, and general control over most facial muscles. I can put my uvula on my tongue (it's uncomfortable, but I can do it).
I have pretty good control of it, and can make it sprout from my stomach, chest, and lower back-- in addition to it starting from the neck.
I can also isolate the goosebumps to either arm.
Very interested in learning more about this. Posting to the thread to share and follow.
