In recent years, a widely popular phenomenon has emerged as exemplified in thousands of videos available on the Internet. Referred to using the impressive sounding term "Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response" (abbreviated ASMR), followers claim that ASMR videos evoke a special "tingling" sensation that is regarded as highly pleasurable and relaxing. The popularity of this phenomenon is reflected in individual ASMR videos receiving more than 43 million views and a reddit ASMR forum with over 130,000 subscribers. Two exploratory studies are reported. In the first study, a content analysis was carried out on 30 popular ASMR videos, and compared with 30 videos employing two different control methods. In the second study, a content analysis was carried out on 3,600 comments on discussion forums and accompanying ASMR videos. The results indicate that ASMR videos typically employ a quiet, private scene, with a relaxed, friendly, and intimate actor ("ASMRtist"). Although ASMR is evoked by non-musical stimuli, the physiological responses to ASMR (skin-related tingling and goosebumps) strongly resemble the classic frisson experience—a phenomenon that has received considerable attention among music perception researchers. Careful consideration of ASMR stimuli and responses suggest that ASMR is consistent with Huron's (2006) theory of frisson.

自主感觉经络反应（ASMR）的两项研究：ASMR与音乐诱发的Frisson之间的关系

近年来，已经出现了一种广泛流行的现象，例如Internet上成千上万的视频。追随者指的是使用令人印象深刻的冠词“自主感觉经络反应”（缩写为ASMR），追随者声称ASMR视频唤起一种特殊的“刺痛”感觉，被认为是非常令人愉悦和放松的。这种现象的流行体现在单个ASMR视频获得了超过4300万的观看次数，以及一个Reddit ASMR论坛（拥有超过130,000的订阅者）。报告了两项探索性研究。在第一项研究中，对30个流行的ASMR视频进行了内容分析，并将其与采用两种不同控制方法的30个视频进行了比较。在第二项研究中，对讨论论坛和随附的ASMR视频上的3600条评论进行了内容分析。结果表明，ASMR视频通常采用安静，私密的场景，并带有轻松，友好和亲密的演员（“ ASMRtist”）。尽管ASMR是由非音乐刺激引起的，但是对ASMR（与皮肤相关的刺痛和鸡皮ump）的生理反应与经典的弗里森体验非常相似-这种现象已引起音乐知觉研究人员的极大关注。仔细考虑ASMR刺激和反应表明，ASMR与Huron（2006）的frisson理论是一致的。对ASMR（与皮肤有关的刺痛和鸡皮ump）的生理反应与经典的弗里森体验非常相似，这一现象在音乐知觉研究人员中引起了极大的关注。仔细考虑ASMR刺激和反应表明，ASMR与Huron（2006）的frisson理论是一致的。对ASMR（与皮肤有关的刺痛和鸡皮ump）的生理反应与经典的弗里森体验非常相似，这一现象在音乐知觉研究人员中引起了极大的关注。仔细考虑ASMR刺激和反应表明，ASMR与Huron（2006）的frisson理论是一致的。
