What is ASMR?
- What? Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response
-Tingeling sensation triggered by certain stimuli called triggers
- Who? ASMRtists
- How? Listening, seeing or feeling
Tingles
Those who experience tingles, report...
overall calmness
wellbeing
relaxation
euphoria
Why I chose this topic
- Helps me with: panic/anxiety attacks, insomnia, relaxation and headaches
- The science behind ASMR => not enough research
2015 PeerJ study
Only 5% use ASMR for sexual stimulation
84%
DATa
Swansea University
"Findings indicate that ASMR is reliable and physiologically- rooted experience that may have therapeutic benefits for mental and physical health"
The University of Sheffield, PLOSOne, 2018
-Neuroimaging using fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging)
-Regions associated with self-awareness, social cognition, and social behaviour including grooming.
Producing images of brain activity to messure what's happening in various regions of the brain.
Experiment
Step 1
Normal state.
Step 2
While hearing fireworks.
Step 3
While listeing to my favourite ASMR trigger.
Blood pressure: 119/80 mmHg
Pulse rate: 73 bpm
Blood pressure: 117/76 mmHg
Pulse rate: 84 bpm
Blood pressure: 107/79 mmHg
Pulse rate: 77 bpm
How can ASMR be used in therapy?
- Classical Conditioning, Pavlov (a procees by which we learn to associate stimuli and, consequently, to anticipate events)
- Associating ASMR stimuli/ triggers with calmness, relaxation, comfort, sleepiness ( conditioned stimulus => conditioned response)
comparison
vs
Like ASMR
- Feel safe
- No judgment
- nostolgia (warmth, safety...)
- virtual
- The tingling sensation feels like a soft blanket
Dislike
ASMR
- Too intimate
- Strangers
- Prefrences (e.g. physical touch)
- The tingling sensation feels like cringing
- ASMR is real!
- The phenomenon has physiological and neurological activation
- It may be useful therapeutically for both physical and mental health
=> MORE STUDIES
CONCLUSION:
Thanks!
