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

Multimodal Dataset Remote Photoplethysmography Soft Proprioception Agent Behavior Modeling

Open paper AskPDF arXiv

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 photoplethysmography (PPG), time-aligned audiovisual stimuli, and continuous subjective annotations from 34 participants. Technical validation showed high stimulus efficacy (97% responder rate), significant stimulus-specific inter-subject agreement (p < 0.05), and a robust PPG-derived ASMR-specific cardiovascular deceleration. Additionally, a Bidirectional Long-Short Term Memory model successfully predicted subjective ASMR tingle states, achieving video-level ASMR vs. Nature classification with perfect accuracy and a frame-level global mean accuracy of 75.51%, macro F1-score of 71.86%, and 100% Nature-baseline specificity, under a strict, leakage-free subject-video double-independent 4-fold cross-validation. REST-ASMR constitutes a dense temporal foundation for affective computing, multimodal research, and the development of personalized models of relaxation-related responses.
