ChillsTV

In this experiment, we are interested in studying people's emotional reaction to film and music. Specifically, we are interested in the feeling of emotional chills and shivers. These are best described as the feeling of cold down your spine that are NOT related to temperature or sickness but that are caused by some strong emotions. Emotional chills are often accompanied by goosebumps, hairs rising on the arm.

By continuing, you agree to understand what chills are, the purpose of the experiment and consent to be part of the experiment.
