Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a somatosensory phenomenon characterized by pleasant tingling sensations and cardiovascular slowing. However, ASMR research has been hindered by a dearth of standardized, open-access multimodal datasets. To address this limitation, we present REST-ASMR (Response to Environmental & Sensory Triggers), a synchronized multimodal dataset designed to capture behavioral reports and physiological dynamics during ASMR, with nature-relaxation videos as control stimuli. The dataset includes high-resolution photoplethysmography (PPG), time-aligned audiovisual stimuli, and continuous subjective annotations from 34 participants. Technical validation showed high stimulus efficacy (97% responder rate), significant stimulus-specific inter-subject agreement (p < 0.05), and a robust PPG-derived ASMR-specific cardiovascular deceleration. Additionally, a Bidirectional Long-Short Term Memory model successfully predicted subjective ASMR tingle states, achieving video-level ASMR vs. Nature classification with perfect accuracy and a frame-level global mean accuracy of 75.51%, macro F1-score of 71.86%, and 100% Nature-baseline specificity, under a strict, leakage-free subject-video double-independent 4-fold cross-validation. REST-ASMR constitutes a dense temporal foundation for affective computing, multimodal research, and the development of personalized models of relaxation-related responses.
