"ASMR, which stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, is a phenomenon experienced by people who claim sensual forms of stimulation incite a tingling sensation near their scalps and spines. The tingling sensation, sometimes described as a “braingasm,” can be a response to visual, olfactory and auditory stimuli of varying kinds."

"Video has become the lifeblood of the internet, but with every video comes an audio track the quality of which is often neglected by fame-hungry content producers. The result: sound that is imbalanced, tinny or distorted. For those creators who wish that their audio was more rich and immersive, a binaural microphone such as the 3Dio Free Space Pro II might provide a visually striking solution."

"While regular microphones capture sound without any obstruction to the audio waves, the company [3Dio] explains, binaural devices simulate the way ears shape and channel sound; the brain then interprets those alterations as directional cues."

"The biggest challenge is that every set of ears is different, so our tests are limited by both how well we hear, and whether we’re sensitive to certain frequencies. To combat that, our team has invested in the 3Dio FS, a binaural (stereo) microphone that we’ll use to accurately record music played through a set of speakers or headphones."

"In terms of practical applications, audio for video is high up the list. One of my most successful experiments with the 3Dio kit was to rig it up on top of a DSLR camera, and use it to capture sound while filming. The precise nature of the sound localisation, combined with the visual reinforcement from the footage, made for a satisfyingly congruent whole, so if you’re trying to capture a natural sound while shooting a video, I can highly recommend a binaural setup."

"Acoustics can act in deep, visceral ways, not unlike music (think of the sound of an empty house). And while it’s sometimes hard to pin down exactly how, there is often a correlation between the function of a place or an object and the sound we expect it to make."
