Finger/electro viberations

I can feel electricity vibrate my finger tips as it runs through a wire.
The current has to be high.  My wife can do it, her brother can do it.
My wife is better at it than I am.  We can feel an electric el in a fish
tank if it is active electrically.  Recently I had the flu and while on
medication I lost this ability.

It seems that the ability would be normal for everyone if the current is
high and the frequency of oscillations were tuned to them.  I just happened
to be good at 60 hertz.  The medicine could have changed the frequency to
67 hertz so that I would feel nothing.

Does anyone know of any research in this area?
