37. Why Certain Sounds Make Your Brain Tingle - Learning About ASMR


Listen Later

Have you ever had a brain orgasm?

Have you ever felt a tingling in your scalp after hearing a certain sound? Maybe the gentle tapping or dragging of long finger nails on different, bumpy or rough surfaces, clicking of the tongue or fingers, crackles or fizzes like that of candy in your mouth, falling of dry rice, rustling of leaves, or fabrics, whispering...

ASMR, also called “brain tingles” or “brain orgasm” is felt as deep relaxation and pleasant head tingling that is often stimulated by gentle sounds, such as these - and/or also light touch and/or personal attention (from someone with a caring disposition - according to research) - either direct personal attention, or recorded.

Today we look at ASMR, and what is happening - neurologically and physiologically speaking - the benefits, and the Little Brains in your life, and how to find out if you (or they) are ASMR-sensitive.
