Abstract

Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a self-reported sensory phenomenon that elicits a pleasurable tingling sensation that often starts in the head. This study showed that participants who experience ASMR (N = 35) are also more prone to experience illusory sensory events than controls (N = 25), as measured with the Sensory Suggestibility Scale. This suggests that ASMR is not only associated with cognitive traits such as imagery ability but also to how individuals physically experience sensory events.
