Participate in a research study that investigates the effects of the sound vs visual components of ASMR triggers.

/ Dr. Richard

How does the response to an ASMR trigger change if it is sound only?  Visual only? Or a mix of Sound and Visual?

In this study, you will be asked about your prior ASMR and misophonia experiences, and then you will share your reactions to three ASMR stimuli types; acoustic (no video, only sound), visual (no sound, only video), and audiovisual (both).

This study is being conducted by Pauline Becker, a college student pursuing her B.Eng. in media engineering at Hochschule Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf.  Her faculty advisor is Prof. Dr. Jochen Steffens.

Her thesis is titled: “Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response: The impact of acoustic, visual and audiovisual triggers in comparison”

Pauline is looking for participants to take her online survey. The survey is open to individuals of any age who experience ASMR.  The survey is fully anonymous, will take about 15 minutes to complete, and the results will only be used for academic purposes.

Below is a link to the survey and more info.

  1. Hello,
    I’m interested in participating in your survey. I’m 64 years old and I experience ASMR about 5 years ago, and it blew my mind.. please contact me at anytime as I am retired. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

  2. I’ve never noticed anything that triggers this whether sound or anything visual. For me it only occurs when I want it to and I can do this anytime I want. It starts somewhere in my head, near my temples. Then travels through my body. One thing I’ve noticed when doing this in the mirror is that I see my nostrils flare out slightly. I wonder if this is common in others. Also I’ve been directing this tingling sensation to center on certain areas more than others because I find it helps with headaches and muscle tension.

  3. I’ve been able to do this at will since early childhood. I don’t remember ever not being able to do this and thought it commonplace..It seems lately to be even more intense and at times I feel as if I’m having a slight out of body experience where I feel myself to be hovering several inches above my actual body . A kind of deep relaxation occurs and I often use this before falling asleep
