ASMR, or autonomous sensory meridian response, is often triggered by visual or auditory stimuli that create a pleasurable tingling sensation, typically starting from the scalp and moving down the body. This sensation is associated with relaxation and euphoria, similar to feelings elicited from “oddly satisfying” experiences like watching slime being manipulated or objects being crushed, which also invoke sensory pleasure and calmness[1][3][5].
Both ASMR and oddly satisfying videos engage viewers by providing a sense of completion and symmetry, affecting mood positively and reducing stress. For many, the act of watching these videos can produce physical responses like lower heart rates, underscoring their therapeutic potential[4][6].
