Abstract：
Introduction : The \"autonomous sensory meridian response\" (ASMR) is a neologism used to describe an internal sensation of deep relaxation and pleasant head tingling which is often stimulated by gentle sounds, light touch, and personal attention. Methods : An fMRI-based methodology was employed to examine the brain activation of subjects prescreened for ASMR-receptivity (n=10) as they watched ASMR videos and identified specific moments of relaxation and tingling. Results : Subjects who experienced ASMR showed significant activation in regions associated with both reward (NAcc) and emotional arousal (dACC and Insula/IFG). Brain activation during ASMR showed similarities to patterns previously observed in musical frisson as well as affiliative behaviors. Conclusion : This is the first study to measure the activation of various brain regions during ASMR and these results may help to reveal the mechanistic underpinnings of this sensation.

简介：“自主感觉子午线反应”（ASMR）是一种新词，用于描述深度放松和令人愉悦的头部刺痛的内部感觉，通常由柔和的声音刺激，轻触,和个人关注。方法：采用基于fMRI的方法来检查在观看ASMR视频并确定放松和刺痛的特定时刻时，对ASMR接受性进行预筛选（n=10）的受试者的大脑激活。结果：经历ASMR的受试者在与奖励（NAcc）和情绪唤醒（dACC和Insula/IFG）相关的区域中显示出显着的激活。ASMR期间的大脑激活与先前在音乐上观察到的模式以及从属行为相似。结论：这是第一个测量ASMR过程中各个大脑区域激活的研究，这些结果可能有助于揭示这种感觉的机制基础。
