"Autonomous sensory meridian response, or ASMR, is a sensation where visual or auditory triggers fire off synapses in the brain that create a pleasant, calming feeling."
"Whether it's the sound of the wind whooshing past as you zoom down a mountain or the lovely snow-scraping sound when you cut a sharp corner, there is no shortage of possible ASMR triggers in this game."
The article explores the phenomenon of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR), which is often triggered by visual or auditory stimuli. It highlights a growing trend of gamers experiencing ASMR from video sounds, supported by dedicated YouTube channels. Two games, 'Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders' and 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild', are mentioned for their immersive soundscapes that can induce tingling sensations. The piece notes the limitations in ASMR experiences, as only about 20% of people can experience this sensation.
