New dataset captures physiological responses to ASMR and nature videos

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced REST-ASMR, a new multimodal dataset designed to capture physiological and behavioral responses to ASMR and nature videos. The dataset includes photoplethysmography (PPG) data, synchronized audiovisual stimuli, and subjective annotations from 34 participants. A Bidirectional Long-Short Term Memory model was able to predict subjective ASMR states and classify ASMR versus nature videos with high accuracy. AI

IMPACT Provides a new resource for affective computing and multimodal research, potentially enabling more personalized relaxation models.

    A multimodal dataset of photoplethysmography and continuous behavioral responses to ASMR and nature videos

    arXiv:2606.00752v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a somatosensory phenomenon characterized by pleasant tingling sensations and cardiovascular slowing. However, ASMR research has been hindered by a dearth of standardized, open-access mu…
