It is detectable in the brain using EEG spectral analysis: ASMR amplifies low frequency and reduces high frequency oscillations (2022). (Technically: self-reported ASMR correlates with a shared EEG biomarker, but it doesn’t demonstrate the reverse – building an ASMR detector.) Hey, Apple has a patent on EEG sensors in AirPods (as previously discussed). Free product concept: AirPods that use their sensors to detect the ASMR response, then dial in to relentlessly trigger it 24/7. A new alternative to noise cancelling mode. Tim Apple you can put the cheque in the post. SEE ALSO: The ASMR version of Bee Movie, and other neuro-divergent media (2021). 2. A paper presented at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT), St. Louis, MO: The Early History of Artificial Intelligence in China (1950s-1980s).
