Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a neologism for a perceptual phenomenon characterized as a distinct, pleasurable tingling sensation in the head, scalp, back, or peripheral regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, or cognitive stimuli. The nature and classification of the ASMR phenomenon is controversial,〔 with much anecdotal evidence of the phenomenon but little or no scientific explanation or verified data.〔 ==Origins of the term== Online discussion groups such as the ''Society of Sensationalists'' formed in 2008 on Yahoo! and the ''Unnamed Feeling'' blog created in 2010 by Andrew MacMuiris aimed to provide a community for learning more about the sensation by sharing ideas and personal experiences. Some earlier names for ASMR in these discussion groups included ''attention induced head orgasm'', ''attention induced euphoria'', and ''attention induced observant euphoria''. Other attempts to describe the sensation refer to it as a "brain massage", "head tingle", "brain tingle", "spine tingle", and "brain orgasm".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=asmr0921 )〕 The now-prevalent term ''Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response'' was coined by Jennifer Allen in 2010; ''autonomous'' refers to "the capacity in many to facilitate or completely create the sensation at will", and ''meridian'' alludes to the euphoric "high" being experienced. The University of Oxford's ''Practical Ethics'' says that unrecognized descriptions of the ASMR experience predate the online publicity of the phenomenon by many years, citing an article in ''Süddeutsche Zeitung'' by Austrian writer Clemens Setz, who notes that a passage from Virginia Woolf's ''Mrs Dalloway'' (1925) shares similarities to the ASMR phenomenon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Autonomous sensory meridian response」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
