ASMR

By Steve Draper,   Department of Psychology,   University of Glasgow.

This page, which should possibly be moved under PosPsy, is to hold pointers to the topic of ASMR = Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It is basically about the peculiar comfort of watching some kinds of vacuous videos and the soothing response this produces in many people.

Comfort videos: I'd connect this to the concept of "comfort reading". Re-reading novels for comfort: no surprises, no nasty dissonances, familiar so you needn't concentrate, yet takes your mind along with it....
