Has this ever happened to you? You are listening to a moving piece of music or a gripping poem and suddenly you get goosebumps?
In this study, Dr Eugen Wassiliwizky and his team will examine what happens in your body and your brain during these moments. The researchers measure goosebumps objectively, using a special camera (the “goosecam”), which can be attached to the lower arm or the lower leg. This way, they can pinpoint exactly when you experience goosebumps.
Are you interested in taking part in this study? Can you remember 5 musical pieces and 5 poems that always give you goosebumps? Then write an email to the following address: chills@ae.mpg.de or visit ae.mpg.de/chills
