: Using non-invasive techniques to increase cortical excitability. 🧬 Key Elements in Modern Neuroplasticity Research
ASMR is a complex psycho-physiological experience, and research has shown it is a genuine phenomenon with measurable effects on the brain. Neuroimaging studies reveal that ASMR activates parts of the brain's , including the nucleus accumbens—a region rich in dopamine receptors. This may explain the feelings of calm and euphoria. Additionally, listening to ASMR has been shown to increase activity in regions tied to emotional arousal and empathy , which helps create a powerful bond between the viewer and the content creator.
