Cold chill

Physical human feeling

A cold chill is described by David Huron as, "a pleasant tingling feeling, associated with the flexing of hair follicles resulting in goose bumps, accompanied by a cold sensation, and sometimes producing a shudder or shiver." Cold chills are a purely subjective response and, unlike piloerection, no objective physiological measure of cold chills exists. Unlike shivering, however, it is not caused by temperature, but rather is an emotionally triggered response when one is deeply affected by things such as music, speech, or recollection. It is similar to autonomous sensory meridian response; both sensations consist of a pleasant tingling feeling that affects the skin on the back of the neck and spine.
