ASMR: That Happy, Tingly Feeling

The video explores ASMR, a tingling sensation triggered by stimuli like whispering. It discusses its popularity, scientific research, and potential benefits for mood and pain relief. The first peer-reviewed study on ASMR aimed to define the sensation, identify triggers, and explore its effects on depression and chronic pain. Common triggers include whispering and personal attention. The study found ASMR can improve mood and may help with pain. Future research will explore its physiological effects and connections to synesthesia and mesophonia.
