It turns out that there is\u2014but since scientists have only just begun studying it, our understanding of it is constantly changing and improving.<\/p>\n<p>The reason there has only been so much research conducted around ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response, is that it wasn\u2019t identified until around 2009 or 2010\u2014and even then, it took the scientific community some time to catch onto what had become a growing community of ASMR fans who had gathered on the internet to discuss the whole thing.<\/p>\n<p>However, interest in ASMR has grown rapidly since then, both within and outside the scientific community\u2014so, in case you\u2019re curious, here\u2019s what has been figured out about the phenomenon so far.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_ASMR\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_0\">What Is ASMR?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>ASMR stands for <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=432db143fab4826620fe7b8eb31c6901&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.health.com%2Fcondition%2Fneurological-disorders%2Fwhat-does-asmr-mean&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response<\/a>. It\u2019s a physical sensation some people experience in response to certain stimuli\u2014often gentle auditory stimuli like hearing someone whisper. However, visual stimuli might trigger it as well. Usually, it is described as extremely pleasant or even euphoric.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, the sensation\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/health\/archive\/2013\/12\/how-to-have-a-brain-orgasm\/282356\">starts on the scalp<\/a> as a sort of tingling feeling before spreading down the neck, shoulders, and sometimes the entire body. Most people who experience it find it highly relaxing. Due to its scalp-centric beginnings, some people who experience ASMR have referred to it as a \u201chead orgasm\u201d or a \u201cbrain-gasm,\u201d although it\u2019s not sexual in nature.<\/p>\n<p>Triggers for ASMR vary widely, but what they often share is their gentleness. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5322228\/\">Commonly reported triggers<\/a> include watching other people paint, draw, cook, open a package, or touch or brush their own hair or someone else\u2019s; listening to tapping or scratching sounds; and, of course, the perennial favorite: hearing someone whispering.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"QLh0VpU75ZY\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/QLh0VpU75ZY\/hqdefault.jpg');\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>A whole genre of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/health-shots\/2019\/10\/17\/770696925\/some-people-get-brain-tingles-from-these-slime-videos-what-s-behind-the-feeling\">YouTube videos aimed at inducing ASMR<\/a> has arisen from the growing understanding of its triggers; additionally, some extant pieces of media have been recast as ASMR triggers.

The brains\u2019 \u201cdefault mode network,\u201d which is usually indicated by specific areas of the brain firing, or \u201clighting up\u201d at the same time, looks different in people who experience ASMR.<\/p>\n<p>As Libby Copeland wrote in a\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/science-nature\/researchers-begin-gently-probe-science-behind-asmr-180962550\/\"><em>2017 Smithsonian<\/em> Magazine<\/a>\u00a0piece,\u00a0the researchers saw that \u201cthe areas that typically work together weren\u2019t firing together as much.\u201d Instead,\u00a0\u201cOther areas of the brain were getting more involved than usual\u2014areas related to a visual network, for instance.\u201d This implies that people who experience ASMR might not have the distinct brain networks we\u2019ve come to think of as the norm, but rather, blended ones.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"qAEM95ixp-s\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/qAEM95ixp-s\/hqdefault.jpg');\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Additionally, a 2018 study published in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6209833\/\">the journal <em>Bioimpacts<\/em><\/a> found that when people who experience ASMR watch videos that induce the feeling, their brain\u2019s medial prefrontal cortex activates.

Again, there is a lot we still don\u2019t know, but there might be a connection between certain personality traits and ASMR. According to one study published in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6086079\/\">the journal <em>PeerJ<\/em><\/a> in 2018, those who experience ASMR also score more highly on mindfulness scales.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, a study published in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5322228\/\">journal <em>Frontiers of Psychology<\/em><\/a> in 2017 found that people who report experiencing ASMR scored much higher on the traits of Openness to Experience and Neuroticism and much lower on the traits of Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Agreeableness on the Big Five personality inventory. This study suggests that experience of ASMR may in fact be associated with particular personality traits, although more research is needed to further bolster these results.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Benefits_of_ASMR\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">What Are the Benefits of ASMR?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just as there\u2019s still much we don\u2019t know about the mechanism by which ASMR works, there\u2019s also much we don\u2019t know about its short-term and long-term effects. However, a growing body of research suggests that it can be enormously beneficial for those who experience it.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the benefits are psychological, including stress reduction and a boost in overall effect. For example, according to one study published in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0196645\">the journal <em>PLOS One<\/em><\/a> in 2018, people who experience ASMR while watching videos reported feeling \u201cincreased levels of excitement and calmness and decreased levels of stress and sadness\u201d. The participants who experienced ASMR and the participants who did not experience it demonstrated no significant differences in response when they watched control videos.<\/p>\n<p>The 2018 <em>PLOS One<\/em> study also found some <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0196645\">physiological effects of ASMR<\/a>: Watching the videos were \u201cassociated with increased excitement and skin conductance levels,\u201d which are generally indicators of physiological arousal. However, this arousal is not necessarily sexual in nature. The researchers suggest that the contrast between the emotional calmness and the heightened physiological responses might be \u201cindicative of the emotional complexity of ASMR\u201d\u2014that is, ASMR can induce seemingly opposite feelings and sensations at the same time, the same way, say, nostalgia or aesthetic chills can.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, there\u2019s evidence to suggest that <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4380153\/\">ASMR can help people sleep better<\/a>. According to a 2018 study that connected ASMR with high mindfulness scores, a whopping 82 percent of people who experience ASMR use it to help them sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Given that <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/news\/press\/releases\/stress\/2013\/sleep\">adults with lower stress levels<\/a> have long been known to sleep better and longer than those with higher ones\u2014and that ASMR is associated with reduced stress levels\u2014this is perhaps unsurprising. It\u2019s possible watching or listening to ASMR-inducing stimuli may help those who experience the sensation sleep better.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>The question of whether ASMR is real or not has been floating through both the scientific community and the population at large for as long as we\u2019ve had a term to identify it.
