For intracranial orgasm, its formal name is spontaneous perceptual nerve response (ASMR). When people's hearing, vision and touch are stimulated to a certain extent, the brain and spine will have corresponding pleasant feelings, and even a feeling of numbness.
When people produce ASMR, the whole person will feel very relaxed, and this experience will help people sleep. So, what can I do to experience ASMR?
One of the common methods is auditory stimulation, such as turning pages, knocking on wood or metal, rain, underwater sound, rustling leaves, scratching fingers, eating, light music and so on. These sounds are sometimes called. White noise? . Generally speaking, when making this special sound, the sound source is usually very close to the tape recorder, so that the sound echoes in the ear.
Some special sounds can even make people feel synaesthesia, so that listeners can? Do you see it? Sound, sound becomes a specific color. Some synaesthesia is related to taste, and sound will have a specific taste. The mechanism of synaesthesia is still unclear, but some people do feel this way. As early as the17th century, philosophers at Oxford University reported that they had synesthesia of the blind.
Besides pure voice, whispering is also an effective stimulation method. Some people's voices are particularly charming. When this kind of voice echoes in the ear, it often makes people relax and enjoy this deep voice quietly. According to the survey of psychologists, the proportion of ASMR induced by whispering can reach three quarters.
In addition, there are visual and tactile stimuli, such as some natural scenery that seems to calm people down, deep space and touching the skin. Through visual and tactile stimulation, the human brain can also feel natural relaxation.
In short, ASMR doesn't excite people's brains very much. On the contrary, ASMR can make people enter a very relaxed state, just like entering a meditation state, and negative emotions are forgotten. Therefore, some people will use ASMR to promote sleep.
Previously, some psychologists and biologists have studied this phenomenon, and related papers have been published in academic journals. Although many people report having ASMR experience, their scientific understanding of ASMR is still insufficient. The mechanism of ASMR is still inconclusive. Perhaps only when people have a deeper understanding of the working mechanism of the brain can the mystery of ASMR be solved.
