Chills or goosebumps, also called frisson, is a phenomenon that is often associated with an aesthetic experience e.g., music or some other ecstatic experience. The temporal and spatial cause of frisson in the brain has been one of the biggest mysteries of human nature. Accumulating evidence suggests that aesthetic, namely subjective, affective, and evaluative processes are at play while listening to music, hence, it is an important subjective stimulus for systematic investigation. Advances in neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience, have given impetus to neuro-aesthetics, a novel approach to music providing a phenomenological brain-based framework for the aesthetic experience of music with the potential to open the scope for future research. In this paper, we present an affordable, wearable, easy-to-carry device to measure phenomenological goosebumps intensity on our skin with respect to real-time data using IoT devices (Raspberry pi 3, model B). To test the device subjects were asked to provide a list of songs that elicit goosebumps. Wireless earphones were provided, allowing participants to walk around and dance while listening to their music. (Some subjects moved during sessions). Results indicate that goosebumps were reliably detected by the device after visual inspection of the videos/music. The effective measurement when interfaced with neurophysiological devices such as electroencephalography (EEG) can help interpret biomarkers of ecstatic emotions. The second part of the study focuses on identifying primary brain regions involved in goosebump experience during musical stimulation.

翻译：寒意或鸡皮疙瘩，也称为“frisson”，是一种通常与审美体验（如音乐或其他狂喜体验）相关的现象。鸡皮疙瘩在大脑中产生的时间和空间原因一直是人类本质中最大的谜团之一。越来越多的证据表明，在聆听音乐时，审美过程（即主观、情感和评价过程）发挥作用，因此，音乐是系统研究的重要主观刺激物。神经影像学和认知神经科学的进步推动了神经美学的兴起，这是一种针对音乐的新方法，为音乐的审美体验提供了一个基于大脑的现象学框架，并具有拓展未来研究范围的潜力。在本文中，我们提出了一种经济、可穿戴、易于携带的设备，利用物联网设备（树莓派3，型号B）根据实时数据测量皮肤上的现象学鸡皮疙瘩强度。为了测试该设备，受试者被要求提供一份能引发鸡皮疙瘩的歌曲列表。设备配备无线耳机，允许参与者在听音乐时四处走动或跳舞（部分受试者在会话期间移动）。结果表明，在视觉检查视频/音乐后，该设备可靠地检测到了鸡皮疙瘩。当与神经生理学设备（如脑电图）接口时，该有效测量可帮助解释狂喜情感的生物标志物。研究的第二部分侧重于识别音乐刺激期间参与鸡皮疙瘩体验的主要脑区。
