"What Is ASMR & What Are The Triggers?"

"Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a neologism for a perceptual phenomenon characterized as a distinct, pleasurable tingling sensation in the head, scalp, back, or peripheral regions, of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, or cognitive stimuli. The nature and classification of the ASMR phenomenon is controversial, with much anecdotal evidence of the phenomenon but little or no scientific explanation or verified data." - Wikipedia.com

The following are only a few of many of the various triggers of ASMR:

Soft-speak, Whispering (audible or inaudible), Mouth Sounds, Tapping, Blowing / Wind Sounds, Ear Cupping (where the hands cup the ears or the ear-shaped receivers of the microphone), Water Sounds, Purring (as from a cat), Brushing (the microphone, an object, the skin, or the hair), Crinkling/Clanking Noises (such as the crinkling of plastic wrap or tissue paper, or the clanking of jewelry, etc.), Rubbing Sounds (rubbing certain materials -like cotton, hemp, burlap, faux suede, etc.- with the fingers or onto the microphone), and Personal Attention (which can be both visual and auditory).
