ASMR - a 'brain-gasm' caused by sounds, sights, or touch

Autonomous sensory meridian response, or ASMR, is a unique sensation some people have when they see, hear, or feel certain triggers. These could be whispering or other sounds, delicate hand movements, and light touch. Dr Giulia Peorio is an expert in the phenomenon - she and her team at the University of Essex in England have done groundbreaking research which revealed ASMR can reduce one's heart rate.
