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 multimodal datasets. To address this limitation, we present REST-ASMR (Response to Environmental & Sensory Triggers), a synchronized multimodal dataset designed to capture behavioral reports and physiological dynamics during ASMR, with nature-relaxation videos as control stimuli. The dataset includes high-resolution phot
The increasing availability of physiological sensing technology and a growing interest in understanding human responses to sensory stimuli are enabling the creation of such detailed datasets.
This dataset provides crucial open-access data for understanding human affective states and physiological responses, which is vital for developing more sophisticated and human-centric AI applications.
The availability of a standardized, multimodal dataset for ASMR and relaxation responses will accelerate research in human-AI interaction, personalized content generation, and mental well-being applications.
