Exploring the effect of cross-modal perceptions, creativity and experience on bodily sensations, with a focus on Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) by Wong, Lexie Li Lin

“…The sensation has been popularized among a subset of YouTube users in recent years, with little scientific research on the veracity or mechanisms of the experience. This study aimed to find out how ASMR works in terms of whether people experience tingling sensations when exposed to canonical ASMR stimuli, as well as which parts of their bodies they experience it in. …”

Legislating instability: Adam Smith, free banking, and the financial crisis of 1722 by Goodspeed, T

“…I argue that while these results did not cause the severe financial crisis of 1772, they amplified the level of systemic risk in Scottish credit markets and increased the likelihood that portfolio losses in the event of an adverse economic shock would be transmitted to depositors and noteholders through disorderly bank runs, suspensions of payment, and institutional liquidation. Finally, I find that unlimited liability on the part of Scottish bank shareholders attenuated the effects of financial instability on the real economy.…”

Macroscopic models of superconductivity by Chapman, SJ
