Listening to crinkling paper, slurping, whispers or tapping can offer feelings of euphoria and set off \u0027sparkly brain tingles\u0027
In one recent study, Natalie Roberts, a visiting fellow at Macquarie University, and her colleagues surveyed more than 300 ASMR experiencers on their preferred “triggers.”
“It’s very relaxing, but also very euphoric,” said Giulia Poerio, psychologist at the University of Sussex. “Some people say that it’s a kind of hypnotic-type, trancelike state of relaxation.”In a 2018 study, Poerio and her colleagues found that ASMR was associated with a lowered heart rate, which is a sign of relaxation, but also increased skin conductance response, which is a physical sign of excitement.
Many say their first experience with ASMR happened in childhood, usually before puberty, said Poerio, who has had ASMR for as long as she can remember. He had never heard of ASMR before listening to a podcast in 2013.
