The most common triggers for ASMR are whispering and crisp sounds, such as tapping and crinkling.

常見的 ASMR 觸發源有輕聲細語、拍打、揉捏等清脆聲音。

One defining characteristic though is that all of the sounds are made within close proximity of the listener.

這些聲音都有個共同特色就是所有聲音都是跟聆聽者近距離發聲的。

In fact, "close attention" is a recurring theme in ASMR videos, and role-playing is often used to accomplish that.

在 ASMR 影片裡，「近距離」是常見的主題，而「角色扮演」是常見的方式。

Real ASMRtists also use binaural microphones to accomplish real interactive sounds that puts the listener in the room with them.

專業的 ASMR 直播主會用雙耳錄音麥克風來營造出在你身旁低語的感覺。

Not everybody gets these sensations when listening to trigger sounds.

但並不是所有人都會對這些聲音產生反應。

And many of the symptoms are only anecdotally reported by members of the ASMR community.

而且很多 ASMR 的癥狀都只來自於相關社群的團員發布的。

In fact, little to no scientific research has proven that ASMR actually exists.

事實上，目前並沒有科學根據能夠解釋 ASMR 存在於生理上。

However, look on any of the popular ASMR video channels on YouTube to see that this phenomenon is very real.

不過，瀏覽 YouTube 上那些熱門的 ASMR 影片你就會發現，這個現象是千真萬確存在的。

The most popular of these ASMR channels is of course GentleWhispering a.k.a. Maria who has accumulated over 173 million views since 2011.

Maria 經營的 GentleWhispering 是個非常歡迎的 ASMR 頻道，自 2011 年以來已經累積超過一億七千三百萬次的點閱。

Autonomous, sensory, meridian, response.

自主的、感官的、經線、回應。

There's also Whisper Talk Studios, Heather Feather, Massage ASMR, Ephemeral Rift and ASMR Requests.

性質相同的頻道還有 Whisper Talk Studios、Heather Feather、Massage ASMR、Ephemeral Rift 以及 ASMR Requests。

In the one study that has been done about this topic, researchers found that participants mostly used ASMR videos as a source of relaxation and for dealing with stress.

相關研究指出，許多參與者都會透過 ASMR 影片來放鬆身心、減輕壓力。

Some participants even admitted that ASMR helped to relieve depression.

部分參與者甚至表示 ASMR 有助於緩解憂鬱。

However, like I mentioned before, no real scientific research has been done on ASMR, so please don't go replacing your antidepressants with Heather Feather videos.

但就如同我前面所說的，目前仍未有關於 ASMR 的科學證明，所以請不要以 ASMR 來取代抗憂鬱藥。

Just look straight ahead please.

請直直往前看。

So how do you know if you have ASMR?

究竟要如何知道自己是否有 ASMR 呢？

Well, you could pick up a nice set of binaural-friendly headphones and go over to one of those YouTube channels and see for yourself.

首先你可以先戴上一副雙耳耳機，接著再到 YouTube 上觀看 ASMR 影片，看看自己有什麼感覺。

Or maybe this can help...

或者，這可能有點幫助...
