ASMR has become a very popular relaxation technique - so popular that it has sparked the interest of scientists. In this video I summarize what researchers have studied about ASMR so far: triggers, personality traits of persons who experience ASMR, psychological and physiological effects of ASMR, active brain regions during ASMR and preferred characteristics of ASMR videos.
