What is this trial about?
This study investigates the effects of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) stimulation on resting-state brain networks. Therefore, two resting-state fMRI scans are measured in healthy adults. Before each fMRI scan, subjects listen either to ASMR typical sounds or an audio-book (randomized cross-over-design). It is expected to find changes in the functional connectivity of the Default Mode Network caused by passive listening to ASMR.
