Made popular through YouTube videos dedicated to this sensation, some question ASMR’s existence. Others argue there is a spectrum of how people experience and feel ASMR.

Participants should bring the following: Streaming device able to access wifi to watch & listen to videos (mobile, tablet, laptop), headphones.
