EEG-Based Analysis of ASMR Stimuli: A Pilot Study of Neuropsychological Responses through Conventional vs. Bone-Conduction Headphones
Abstract
In this study, the impact of ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) experiences delivered through different types of headphones was evaluated with respect to neural responses and anxiety levels. The EEG data of a 24-year-old participant was recorded while he underwent ASMR stimulation using conventional and bone-conduction headphones. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) assessed anxiety levels before and after ASMR stimulation, showing decreased state anxiety following intervention. Based on spectral analysis of Electroencephalography (EEG) data, significant differences were found between headphone types and cognitive tasks (Mathematical calculations). Using conventional headphones, gamma activity was evident in the posterior brain regions, suggesting that headphone type may influence ASMR-induced neural activity. The pilot study findings emphasize the importance of refining auditory delivery methods for clinical applications to maximize ASMR efficacy and therapeutic outcomes.
