Our online study about #misophonia, #ASMR, musical #chills aka #frisson, and #musicality reactions in the general population is now accepted for a special issue at Phil Trans B on "Sensing and Feeling"! Thanks especially to editors Hirohito Kondo and Brian Moore for putting together such an exciting topic!
See link for updated pre-print on OSF.
We found a lot of things but here a few highlights:
Misophonia reactions to videos seem to be pretty common, even in people who wouldn't be diagnosed with "misophonia" The Disorder.
People who have a lot misophonia reactions to videos also have a lot of ASMR and chills reactions.
A self-report measure of general musicality does not correlate with misophonia, ASMR, or chills reactions. But stay tuned because we're doing an in person study now with both adults and kids using a wider set of music perception tasks.

Oh my god ive got to read this. Misophonia and amusia are some of the most fascinating sensory phenomena I know about. Like visual processing displeasure is so much more about the semantics of the image - things look gross because they look like gross things! but there are no comparable "semantics" of sound except by analogy. Otherwise it can be physically parameterizable like "too bright" or "too loud," but I have known people who for eg. Had to leave the room when sounds in the neighborhood of bubbles popping were happening and had no explanation aside from "I really do not like it and it causes me physical discomfort but have no reason"

Yes exactly, the indescribable shape of an image, I dont know what but I dont like it. Still need to read what youve done here, getting distracted before biking home
