“…Moreover, both conditions appear to rely on similar inducer-concurrent mechanisms and both have been linked to atypical neural connectivity (Dovern et al, 2012;Schweizer et al, 2013;Smith et al, 2017), and a similar personality profile (Banissy et al, 2013;Chun & Hupe, 2016;Rouw & Scholte, 2016). At the same time, neuroimaging research (Lochte et al, 2018; Banissy, 2018;Poerio et al, 2022;Roberts et al, 2020) suggest that ASMR may be characterised by heightened sensitivity within several sensory modalities. As such, further research using objective measures is needed to establish whether sensory sensitivity among ASMR experiencers is domain specific or domain general, as this would shed more light on the mechanisms underpinning the conscious ASMR experiences and its wider phenotype.…”
