Visual ASMR

In today’s society it is getting nearly impossible to avoid stressful situations and react properly to them. Where once the reaction was to run or to fight for life, now it is to stand still and to endure.. This often leads to fear and depression which can occur in form of loss of interest, bad mood and sleepdepravation. Roughly 7-18% of the world population are affectet. Women twice as often as men. To help prevent this, Visual ASMR shows great effects. Visual ASMR is a response that is unclear to many psychologists up to this day, yet it is an undeniable fact, that ASMR not only gives you a pleasureable and relaxing feeling while exposed to it, it can also help with stress management in the future! Goal of this project is to explore, why ASMR has such a relaxing effect and if it can be used against fear and depression. Futhermore, based on the research results, a prototype szenario, where ASMR will be used in a pschological/medical institution, will be created.
