We significantly enriched ChillsDB, a dataset of audiovisual stimuli validated to elicit
aesthetic chills. A total of 2,937 participants from Southern California were exposed to 40 …

Aesthetic chills are an embodied peak emotional experience induced by stimuli such as
music, films, and speeches and characterized by dopaminergic release. The emotional …

We introduce ChillsDB the first validated database of audiovisual stimuli eliciting aesthetic
chills (goosebumps, psychogenic shivers) in a US population. To discover chills stimuli “in …

It is often suggested that piloerection, or goosebumps, is primarily triggered by emotional
experience—theoretical perspectives place a heavy emphasis on experiencing novelty and …

In this project, we create artificial piloerection using contactless electrostatics to induce
tactile sensations in a contactless way. Firstly, we design various high-voltage generators …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with
no curative treatment, and the available therapies aim to modify the course of the disease. It …

This research provides an in-depth exploration into the triggers and corresponding
autonomic responses of piloerection, a phenomenon prevalent across various species. In …

Lygodium microphyllum is an invasive plant with various pharmacological activities, but
information on its toxicity is limited. Therefore, this study aims to determine the toxic effects of …

A set of demonstrators of contactless haptic principles is described in this work. The
technologies are based on electrostatic piloerection, chemical compounds and ultrasound …

Piloerection (eg, goosebumps) is an essential thermoregulatory and social signaling
mechanism in non‐human animals. Although humans also experience piloerection—often …
