Have you ever heard or saw something that left your body tingling? A gentle whisper, the crinkle of wrapping paper, the tapping of a finger or the sound or sight of rushing water. If stimuli like these have ever left you feeling euphoric, you might be prone to ASMR, and research shows that your personality might have something to do with it.
Since its discovery, the creation and consumption of online ASMR content has sky-rocketed, with over 500,000 channels and over 2.5 million videos on YouTube dedicated to triggering viewers’ ASMR. While this sensational phenomenon leaves some in a state of ecstasy, others might not be receptive to ASMR. So, why does this response occur? And who is more prone to it? Here are some answers.
Further fMRI studies show that those sensitive to ASMR have increased activation in specific brain regions, including the medial prefrontal cortex , the nucleus accumbens and the anterior cingulate cortex and insula . It was also discovered that arousal, which refers to heightened alertness and emotional responsiveness, is a key characteristic of ASMR. This suggests that ASMR experiences are not just about relaxation; they can also involve heightened emotional states.Delving deeper into the fascinating world of ASMR, it becomes evident that this phenomenon is not uniform across the population.
