Frisson is a brief, yet intense psychophysiological reaction. A person feels «goosebumps» on their skin, a slight chill, tingling, and sometimes a tremor down the spine.

The explainer describes what «frisson» is, the sensations and situations it evokes, and why the emotional reaction is sometimes felt physically.

The viewer encounters four different Fresson triggers and gradually learns what unites them and what the term signifies.
