ASMR has been referred to as a psychological high. It is not a drug nor does it have the effects of drugs, but it does make people fell calm and relaxed.
Yes, it can do. The relaxed state that people enter into while experiencing the massaging brain tingles can make them sleepy. It is being studied as a sleep aid and is similar to meditation.
Yes, there are a few ongoing studies. It has been found that ASMR and meditation are extremely similar. ASMR is being researched as a sleep aid and as a technique for psychological sessions such as anger management and anxiety reduction.
Since this is still being studied, we are not yet entirely sure why. It is suggested that ASMR only works on sensitive people. So far we have discovered that ASMR and meditation are actually very similar and produce similar results. In order for meditation to work, the individual needs to be open minded, so maybe you would need to be open minded for ASMR to work too.
As of this moment in time, there is no scientific explanation. ASMR has been known for centuries, but it has only recently started to be taken seriously and investigated by scientists. It is very difficult to study because the effects are psychological rather than physical. Many psychologists have however found that ASMR and the effects of it are extremely similar to meditation. When tested on psychiatric patients, ASMR calmed the patient down in the same way as meditation does.
ASMR is usually triggered by visual stimuli and sound stimuli. There have been suggestions that being lightly massaged on the head is similar to the brain tingling found with ASMR.
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 sensory input of a reflex typically leads to a predictable motor response. This is due to the nature of reflex arcs, which consist of sensory neurons that transmit signals to the spinal cord, where they synapse with motor neurons. The motor neurons then generate a specific, often involuntary, response to the initial stimulus, ensuring a consistent outcome in similar situations.
Some studies have been conducted by various European and American institutions and universities. ASMR is difficult to research because the effects of it are psychological rather than physical. An example of study is the Sutter Neuroscience Institute, which have found out that ASMR can be used as an excellent psychological sleep aid. Psychologists such as Dr. Michael Yasinski have also discovered that the effects of ASMR are extremely similar to meditation. When tested, people exposed to meditation and ASMR showed the same psychological effects. More studies are ongoing.

The processing center of a visceral reflex is typically located in the central nervous system, such as the brain or spinal cord. This is where the information from sensory receptors is integrated and a response is generated to regulate internal organ function.
Because the country is run under an autonomous dictatorship who don't like difference or expression.
The conditioned response is the learned response that is triggered by the conditioned stimulus. It is typically similar to the unconditioned response that is naturally elicited by the unconditioned stimulus.
