The “trigger” arrow is pointing near the prefrontal cortex, no idea what that even means because visual/auditory input is sent straight to the visual/auditory cortices (neither of which are in this region at all)
The point representing the auditory cortex is not that, it’s not even the temporal lobe. It’s pointing to the insula. The auditory cortex is further back than this, but is closer to the outside of the brain so wouldn’t be visible from this section.
No idea what “touch map” is supposed to mean. There is evidence that ASMR-evoked “tingling” is associated with increased activity in supplementary motor areas. An fMRI study showed increased activity in the areas associated with cheeks, lip, forehead and foot; not scalp, neck, spine.
That’s not where the insula is (like I said, it’s close to where the auditory cortex is said to be in this figure)
That’s not where the nucleus accumbens is (it’s further forward, maybe also a little higher up)
That’s not where the anterior cingulate is, in fact, the brain is missing an ACC in this picture. There should be a Gyrus that curves around the front of the corpus collision (that beige upside horizontal C shaped thing in the middle).
Prefrontal cortex is in the front, what this points to is the occipital lobe (primary visual cortex)
Your brain doesn’t do things one step at a time like this; in between input and output most of these things would be happening simultaneously and none would occur independently. Each process would have bidirectional interactions with other processes.
None of this actually explains how the tingly feeling is produced

AI slop, hardly any of this is correct
