Welcome to our research homepage on Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR)!
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) refers to the experience of a tingling sensation on the skin ("tingles"), usually occurring on the scalp, neck and upper spine. The experience of ASMR is mostly accompanied by a sense of well-being and relaxation.
ASMR can be triggered by a wide variety of audio-visual triggers, such as watching another person tapping on surfaces or watching role-plays or massages.
