Visual ASMR

In today's society it is getting nearly impossible to avoid stressful situations and react properly to them. Where it was once running and fighting for life, it is now standing still and enduring. This often leads to fear and depression which can occur as different stages like loss of interest, bad mood and sleep deprivation. Roughly 7-18% are affected. Women double as often as men. You should do something against it! Visual ASMR is a response that is unclear to many physiologists up to this day, but obvious is, that ASMR does not only give you a pleasurable and relaxing feeling while exposing to it, it can also help with stress management in the future!

Within this project I want to explore, why ASMR is so relaxing and if ASMR can be used against fear and depression. Furthermore, I want to use the found knowledge to prototype a scenario, where ASMR will be used in a psychological/medical institution.
