William Halimou (Will) is a 4th year undergraduate student at Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio, USA. He is a neuroscience major with a strong interest in music composition and ASMR.
For his Sensory Neuroscience Senior Seminar course he decided to write a review paper about music-induced chills, and he also included ASMR in his paper.
Will shared his paper with me and I found it very well researched and written. His depth of knowledge on music-induced chills and interest in ASMR made him a terrific resource for comparing these two phenomena.
The ASMR Report is a new website about ASMR which should be quite helpful to anyone looking to learn more about ASMR.
It could still be a long time until ASMR is a clinician-recommended therapy for disorders like insomnia, anxiety, or depression.
Jasmin Ojalainen is a 3rd year undergraduate student at City University London in the United Kingdom. She is a Journalism major and was recently assigned to write an article as a final project in a Science Journalism class.
One of the key aspects of ASMR is that it is a very relaxing state which seems to de-stress the mind and body.
Emma Barrett and Nick Davis actually proposed a body map of the ASMR sensation in their 2015 research paper.
The big similarity between WhisperingLife’s first whisper video channel and the relaxation video channels which preceded her channel is that both channel types relaxed and soothed the viewers.
