ASMR Research

ASMR, or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, refers to a tingling sensation some people experience, often triggered by specific auditory or visual stimuli, like whispered voices or soft sounds. Research into ASMR explores its physiological and psychological effects, including relaxation, stress reduction, and unique brain responses. Studies suggest ASMR can promote feelings of calmness and improve mood, similar to mindfulness practices. While scientific understanding is still developing, ASMR's popularity has grown significantly through online platforms, where creators produce content designed to evoke these sensations and enhance well-being.
