What Is ASMR?
ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) is a sensory phenomenon consisting of a tingling sensation in the scalp, neck, and other body areas in response to specific auditory and visual stimuli, accompanied by relaxation and well-being.
Currently, no studies can tell what percentage of the population experiences ASMR and where this feeling comes from. Attempts to explain the phenomenon often concern our positive associations with certain sounds and images. Recalling them via video may trigger the tingling sensation in question, and this allows, among other things, “close” the areas of the brain responsible for feeling stress.
