ANP, short for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, is a term used to describe a tingling sensation that some people experience in response to certain auditory or visual stimuli. This phenomenon is often described as a pleasurable feeling that starts in the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and spine. Common triggers include whispering, tapping, and personal attention, and ANP videos on platforms like YouTube have gained popularity for their ability to induce these sensations in viewers.

While the scientific understanding of ANP is still evolving, many individuals report feeling relaxed, calm, and even euphoric while experiencing these tingling sensations. Some proponents believe that ANP can have therapeutic benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety. However, more research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms behind ANP and its potential applications in mental health and well-being.
