ASMR is often described as a relaxing, tingling sensation experienced in the scalp or the spine.

Key Points: 
  • ASMR is often described as a relaxing, tingling sensation experienced in the scalp or the spine.
  • This article is part of Quarter Life, a series about issues affecting those of us in our twenties and thirties.
  • The articles in this series explore the questions and bring answers as we navigate this turbulent period of life.

ASMR research

    • Research into the electrical activity of the brain may shed some light on the neurophysiology that underpins ASMR experiences.
    • Interestingly, one of the reasons that ASMR videos have gained such popularity is their ability to influence relaxation.
    • Research indicates that ASMR-prone people may also tend to experience anxiety and that ASMR-inducing videos may help to alleviate it.

What it means if you don’t like bottle-smashing videos

    • Some people experience hyperacusis, where everyday sounds – such as something smashing – are perceived as loud and uncomfortable, even painful to listen to.
    • Such experiences may be underpinned by increased levels of activity in parts of the brain that process sound.
    • Indeed, some people even experience misophonia, whereby some sounds lead to an intensely unpleasant emotional or physiological reaction, such as anger.
    • This may in part explain why the same sound can yield very different feelings in different people when watching bottle-smashing videos.

ALS Finding a Cure, The ALS Association Partner to Reduce Time to Initial ALS Diagnosis

Thursday, August 17, 2023

BOSTON and BOYNTON BEACH, Fla., Aug. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ALS Finding a Cure® (ALSFAC) and The ALS Association announced today seven new grants worth a total of $2 million to support the development of early diagnostics for ALS.

Key Points: 
  • To receive an ALS diagnosis, patients must first undergo a battery of tests designed to rule out other conditions.
  • This is highly problematic because it can take a year – or sometimes even longer – for a person with ALS to receive the correct diagnosis.
  • To address this challenge, ALSFAC launched the Early ALS Diagnostics Initiative to identify promising molecular, digital, imaging, and electrophysiological diagnostic approaches for ALS.
  • After receiving a Partnership Grant from The ALS Association, ALSFAC was able to increase the number of projects supported by the initiative and expand its reach internationally.
