  • Mindfulness & Sensory Experiences: Survey Research

    Seeking Survey Participants

    Have you heard of the “tingling sensation” known as Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR)?
    Do you ever wonder about other, fleeting, sensory experiences?

     “ASMR” is the term used to describe a pleasant tingling sensation in response to particular triggers.  We are seeking adults, 18 and over, to investigate how ASMR might relate to different aspects of mindfulness. You can participate even if you don’t have ASMR or if you are not sure whether you do or not. 

    • Your participation would entail completing a one-time 20-minute questionnaire about how you relate to daily inner and outer experiences (mindfulness) and your ASMR experiences and triggers (if any). 
    • From taking the survey, you can learn information about how your responses in different aspects of mindfulness compared to others.  You will have the opportunity to receive information about the results of the study when they are available.
    • You can learn more following this link to access the information page of the on-line survey: ASMR and Mindfulness. The survey will remain open until enough responses have been collected.

      This study has been approved by the University of Connecticut Institutional Review Board; Protocol X17-149.
