Maria "Masha" Viktorovna [a] [3] (Russian: Мари́я Викторовна; born July 22, 1986), known professionally as Gentle Whispering ASMR, is a Russian-American ASMR performer and YouTube personality. Her YouTube videos are considered to be among the most well-known and popular in the ASMR genre.
In 2010, it was discovered that whispering is one of the many triggers of ASMR, [6] a tingling sensation caused by listening to soft, relaxing sounds. This phenomenon made news headlines after videos on YouTube of people speaking up close to the camera in a soft whisper, giving the viewer tingles. [ 7 ]
An illustration of the route of ASMR's tingling sensation [1] An autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) [2] [3] [4] is a tingling sensation that usually begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine. A pleasant form of paresthesia, [5] it has been compared with auditory-tactile synesthesia [6] [7] and may overlap ...
Whisper is a machine learning model for speech recognition and transcription, created by OpenAI and first released as open-source software in September 2022. [ 2 ] It is capable of transcribing speech in English and several other languages, and is also capable of translating several non-English languages into English. [ 1 ]
Facial width to height ratio (fWHR) is a measure of the width of a person’s face compared to its height. [1] Research has shown that higher FWHR is associated with various physical and behavioral traits, such as adolescent testosterone, [ 2 ] aggression , [ 3 ] attractiveness to women, [ 4 ] cause of death by violence, [ 5 ] CEO success as ...
When measuring hearing thresholds it is always easier for the subject to follow a tone that is audible and decreasing in amplitude than to detect a tone that was previously inaudible. This is because 'top-down' influences mean that the subject expects to hear the sound and is, therefore, more motivated with higher levels of concentration.
Simultaneous masking occurs when a sound is made inaudible by a noise or unwanted sound of the same duration as the original sound. [2] For example, a powerful spike at 1 kHz will tend to mask out a lower-level tone at 1.1 kHz. Also, two sine tones at 440 and 450 Hz can be perceived clearly when separated.
Measurements can be done using the integrated impulse response or interrupted noise methods. Such sound level meters should comply with latest ISO 3382-2 and ASTM E2235-04 measurement standards. Required for measuring the acoustics in buildings is a signal generator that provides pink or white noise through an amplifier and omnidirectional ...
