ASMR

Posted 12-09-2011 at 04:21 PM by Dynamithix
Does anyone else have this? I'm not sure if it's common, but certain sounds trigger a weird tingling feeling down my neck. Apparently, it's called ASMR. Or Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. I think that some people don't have ASMR at all though. There are many videos of it up on Youtube. For example, this activates it for me:



Such an eargasm.

I found this one a lot more relaxing. At one point for me it was like a brain-gasm.

So I suppose this means I have it too?

Something else could trigger it for you.

Is ASMR a weird/bad tingling? Because if it is I get it when I listen to really powerful music.

The sound of felt board pens on sugar paper makes me shiver.

I thought that it was supposed to be a nice sensation?

Does it count when you're listening to certain music and feel a tingling down your spine? A good one, that is.

So has anyone got any unexplainable feelings that aren't weird?

Finally got the tingly feeling in my neck

Oddly enough, it was when I was playing AE today.

I'm doing a 300 mud run for the millionth time, anyway, I got the tingly feeling in the FMV after you complete the Mudanchee and Mudomo vaults where the weirdos give Abe the ability to heal the muds.

Like I said, different things trigger it for people. And yes, music can do it too so 'it counts' too.

Something feels funny about these videos. I feel like I'm watching some kind of bizarre specialist porn.

that's exactly how i felt while watching these videos, really uncomfortable. just feels like a super-extended awkward silence with the occasional brain-tickle.

All the more embarrassing when your watching them with somebody else in the room wondering what the hell your watching...

I reckon most of you if not all of you are caught in the thrall of the placebo effect.

This ASMR shit sounds suspiciously pseudoscientific to me. I can't find a single article on google scholar about it, it doesn't have a wikipedia page and most damningly of all: I've never heard the term in six years of studying psychology.

There is a wiki article of it.

That was kind of the point where you're supposed to post a link.

Because it sure as hell isn't under Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response or ASMR.
