ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, a tingling sensation that some people experience in response to certain auditory or visual stimuli. It is often described as a calming or pleasurable sensation that starts on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. Many people use ASMR videos to help them relax or fall asleep.

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a psychological phenomenon. It involves experiencing pleasurable tingling sensations in response to specific stimuli, such as gentle sounds or visuals. While the exact neurological mechanisms behind ASMR are still being studied, it is generally considered to be a psychological response rather than a neurological condition.

Yes, there are ongoing studies on autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR). Researchers are investigating the psychological and physiological effects of ASMR, exploring its potential therapeutic benefits, and examining the neural mechanisms involved in experiencing ASMR. Some studies focus on understanding the triggers, physiological changes, and brain activity associated with ASMR through methods like brain imaging techniques and subjective reports from individuals who experience ASMR.

ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, was not "discovered" at a particular point in time. The term itself was coined in 2010 by Jennifer Allen, and the phenomenon gained popularity through online communities. However, people have reported experiencing the sensations associated with ASMR for much longer, with anecdotal accounts dating back decades.

Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is not a psychological "high" in the traditional sense. It is a relaxing and pleasurable tingling sensation that some individuals experience in response to certain auditory and visual stimuli. ASMR is not associated with altered states of consciousness or euphoria typically seen with drug-induced highs.

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) refers to a tingling or pleasurable sensation that some individuals experience in response to various auditory or visual stimuli. While there is still much research needed, current scientific understanding suggests that ASMR may involve the activation of the brain's reward and pleasure centers, as well as the release of endorphins and oxytocin, leading to a relaxed and euphoric state. It is thought to be a unique sensory experience, varying in intensity and triggers among individuals.

Yes. If you turn your nostrils inside-out and breathe through your mouth, I can always detect a little hint of nose hair and snot/boogers.

We cannot fully explain this yet. Scientific and psychological studies are ongoing.

Soft whispering is relaxing to the listener, but for the majority of people, it's watching the lips of a soft whisper that triggers ASMR.

In a way, it is a psychological phenomenon because we still don't completely understand it.

It is being studied by scientists and psychologists.

To be completely honest, as of today we still do not know exactly how, or why, it works.

ASMR has only just began to be taken seriously by psychologists, so studies are still ongoing.

We do understand that certain triggers such as soft whispering and the sound of soft chewing can trigger ASMR effects, such as brain tingles, but not how or why.

Yes, watching someone gently crinkle a wrapper can trigger ASMR responses in some people.

The response is triggered by listening to the crinkling while watching the hands in action.

That is a good question! All the information that your brain receive from your sensory organs is called as sensory information. You have your nose, your eyes, your ears, your tongue and you skin to give you sensory information. Your brain finds it difficult to process the information out side this range. Very few people like Sir Issac Newton and Albert Einstein could process the information, out side this range. They became the greatest scientists of all time.

I think it's something that has been around for a long time. But only til recently has it been recognized by the masses and given an official name of ASMR. I've been able to trigger "ASMR" on my own since I was a child but had no idea what to call it, and most, if not everyone I knew had no idea what I was talking about when I tried to explain it to them. Glad to see I'm not alone though!

Awareness of ASMR has mostly spread through the use of social networking online. The most popular platform for ASMR experiences seems to be Youtube. There are also occasionally events related to ASMR, such as "National Hug Your Brain Day.

You can find plenty of these videos on Youtube. Just simply type "ASMR" into the Youtube search box.

Psychologists have only just recently began taking ASMR seriously.

ASMR causes brain tingles which feel like your brain is being psychologically massaged.

These brain tingles are often referred to as "Braingasms". Though they are nothing like an orgasm at all.

Other effects are relaxation, calmness and sleepiness.

Scientists have discovered that ASMR and meditation are extremely similar.

The popularity and recognition of ASMR was spread through social networks. Mostly Youtube.

Yes. The effects of ASMR are psychological. The brain tingling that people feel happens inside the brain.

They are trying to. ASMR is difficult to research because the effects of it are psychological rather than physical.

Yes it is!

The feelings associated with autonomous sensory meridian response actually differ by person Some ASMR actions trigger different ASMR responses in different people.

The common feelings are head tingling, relaxation, calmness and sleepiness.

Some people also report feeling shoulder tingling, thigh tingling and feelings of love.
