On March 3, 2026, I will be having a live discussion on LinkedIn with Nicola Maria Rose (Nikki), the founder of Hushaway.

We will be chatting about the science, biology, and calming effects of ASMR.

In addition, we will discuss how carefully designed sound may support emotional regulation in children, particularly those with heightened sensory profiles.

Below is the Event Announcement, along with the event link on LinkedIn.

On 3rd March, Nicola Maria Rose will be joined LIVE by Dr Craig Richard, neuroscientist, professor and founder of the ASMR University research initiative.

For years, ASMR has been dismissed as a trend.

But the research tells a more nuanced story.

Brain imaging studies suggest ASMR experiences are associated with:
• Reduced heart rate
• Increased feelings of calm and connection
• Activation in brain regions linked to emotional regulation

And yet, when we talk about children, particularly those who are neurodivergent, the conversation becomes even more important.

During this 10–15 minute LinkedIn LIVE, we’ll explore:

• What ASMR actually is (and what it isn’t)
  • What current neuroscience can and cannot confirm
  • Why whispering, gentle rhythm and predictable sound may feel regulating
  • Where caution and clarity are needed

This will not be hype.
It will be grounded, evidence-informed discussion.

If you work in education, parenting, neurodiversity, or emotional regulation, this conversation is for you.

Set a reminder. Bring your questions.

Because sound is not background.
It’s biology.
