Chills
Has this ever happened to you? You’re listening to a moving piece of music or a gripping poem, and suddenly you get goosebumps.
This line of research investigates what happens in the body and brain during these moments. Goosebumps are measured using a special camera (the “goosecam”) attached to the lower arm or leg, allowing researchers to pinpoint their exact timing.

In addition to behavioral data and questionnaires, physiological signals such as skin conductance, heart rate, and muscle activity are recorded while individuals engage with music, poetry, or emotionally evocative film clips. Non-invasive brain imaging techniques like fMRI are used to examine the underlying neural processes. The study is carried out in several phases across different research facilities.
