Tingles

Tingles are a tingling or prickling sensation often experienced on the scalp, face, or body when hearing certain sounds, watching specific videos, or engaging with particular stimuli. They are believed to result from a combination of sensory processing and emotional response, involving the brain's reward and sensory regions. This phenomenon, sometimes called Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR), can induce relaxation, reduce stress, and create feelings of calmness. Not everyone experiences tingles, and reactions can vary in intensity. Overall, they are a real sensory experience linked to the brain’s response to specific stimuli, offering a pleasurable and calming effect.
