“…This allows multivariate statistical analysis that can untangle the impact of (1) body resistance; (2) skin resistance; (3) muscle movements; other (4) factors affecting the neural processing for thermal regulation of the body. Reference [35] conducted related research in gaming and interactive computing interfaces using EDR, in their case, simply added an accelerometer to detect physical activity. This move towards a polygraph' approach can be economically enabled in the 24-bit analog-to-digital converters on SiLabs' C8051F530 (which has a C-language programmable MCU for data summarization and also provides the bias voltage) with setups recording the effect of internal body resistance (measured through transdermal electrodes), the skin-electrode interface, and involuntary muscle movements (measured with a strain gauge).…”

Steady improvements in technologies that measure human emotional response offer new possibilities for making computer games more immersive. This paper reviews the history of designs a particular branch of affective technologies that acquire electrodermal response readings from human subjects. Electrodermal response meters have gone through continual improvements to better measure these nervous responses, but still fall short of the capabilities of today's technology. Electrodermal response traditionally have been labor intensive. Protocols and transcription of subject responses were recorded on separate documents, forcing constant shifts of attention between scripts, electrodermal measuring devices and of observations and subject responses. These problems can be resolved by collecting more information and integrating it in a computer interface that is, by adding relevant sensors in addition to the basic electrodermal resistance reading to untangle (1) body resistance; (2) skin resistance; (3) grip movements; other (4) factors affecting the neural processing for regulation of the body. A device that solves these problems is presented and discussed. It is argued that the electrodermal response datastreams can be enriched through the use of added sensors and a digital acquisition and processing of information, which should further experimentation and use of the technology.

“…Galvanic skin response, named after early pioneer of 'animal electricity ' Luigi Galvano (1791), is based on changes in electrical conductivity of the skin; the more sweat the eccrine glands in the skin secrete, the lower the skin resistance (Ruckmick 1936;Westeyn, Presti and Starner 2006). GSR measurements are performed with an ohmmeter, which registers the electric impedance between two electrodes placed on the skin.…”

“…Additionally the recording during daily life activities yields motion artefacts in the signal. First approaches to deal with this problem use accelerometers near the electrodes in order to detect these artefacts [15]. However, to the best of our knowledge no comprehensive study about the effect of movement to the EDA signal exists.…”

Due to the fact that the electrodermal activity (EDA) is of high interest for stress research there is a need of a continuous measurement of the EDA. In studies related to the EDA exists nowadays a large discrepancy between the use of controlled environment studies and daily life surveys. This paper steps into this gap by presenting the effect of continuous, stationary movements on the EDA. During an extensive experiment, we performed controlled speeds of walking as movements and startle events as an actuator. We evaluated whether it may be possible to provoke and measure the EDA response to the startle event during these different walking speeds. Our study contributes to the knowledge about the reliability of the EDA in real life applications. For this work, we developed a special EDA-sensor that measures the EDA, performs signal preprocessing of the EDA and simultaneously measures the acceleration of the fingers.
