Lateralization of Emotion, Reaction Time, and Skin Conductance Responsiveness
… were used to measure perception of emotion and skin conductance response (SCR) was used to measure experience of emotion. Both words and pictures were used to account for hemispheric differences in language and visuospatial dominance. Response time was faster to emotional pictures than words. …

Psychopathic Traits, Skin Conductance, and Emotion in the Normal Population
… of psychopathy. Level of CA was compared for skin conductance response (SCR) magnitude to empathy evoking versus threatening stimuli. This was done to determine whether reduced response to negative stimuli was associated with fearlessness, lack of empathy, or both. A marginally reliable effect …

Skin conductance and reaction time correlates of learning disability in children
Skin conductances and galvanic skin responses (GSRs) of learning disabled (LD) children and controls were compared during an habituation task and a simple reaction time task, each preceded by a rest period. The two tasks were methodologically equivalent except that only the latter required an …

Vigilance and skin conductance characteristics in a population of reading disabled children
… in the predicted direction. Arousal, measured by skin conductance, increased over time for children in this sample, rather than decreased as we expected from adult data. This indicated that vigilance and arousal cannot be equated in the same sense that has been suggested for adults.

HandWave : design and manufacture of a wearable wireless skin conductance sensor and housing
… of HandWave, a wearable wireless Bluetooth skin conductance sensor, and dedicated housing. The HandWave collects Electrodermal Activity (EDA) data by measuring skin conductance over a pair of electrodes. The EDA data signal is used to infer the excitement level of the subject. The …

Differential effects of facial configuration on bilateral skin conductance as a function of hostility
… effects of hostility on bilateral measures of skin conductance while making affective facial configurations. Males reporting high and low hostility were instructed in making facial configurations that were identified by raters as happy, angry, or neutral in affective valence. All subjects were …

Does sex really matter? : the cognitive and emotional effects of sexual explicitness in video advertisements
… included a psychophysiological assessment of skin conductance and heart rate, as well as self-report measures. Skin conductance was used to measure arousal while heart rate measured cognitive resources allocated to encoding, or attention. Self-report measures covered brand recognition, …

Challenging frontal lobe capacity using lateralized vestibular stress: A functional cerebral systems approach to a clinical risk for falls
… fluency task would yield differences in QEEG and skin conductance after vestibular activation. Fifty-eight total (29 high- and 29 low-fluent performers on the Ruff Figural Fluency Test were subjected to 20 whole-body passive rotations about the neuroaxis at a constant rate of approximately 120 …

Influence of osteopathic palpatory examination on sympathetic nervous system function: a pilot study
… a statistically significant 6.8% decrease in skin conductance. Control and placebo conditions did not produce a significant change in skin conductance. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate did not change significantly following the examination, control or placebo conditions. …

The relation between scores on the child abuse potential inventory and physiologic and perceptual responses to high- and normal-pitched infant cry sounds
… Potential Inventory. Each subject's heart rate, skin conductance level and diastolic blood pressure were assessed while listening to a series of 4 high- and 4 normal-pitched infant cries. Subjects then rated the same cries on 6 perceptual scale items. Results indicated that the adults in the High …

Unwanted Sexual Experience: An Investigation of Emotion and Physiology
… in physiological response, as measured by skin conductance and heart rate, will occur in people who have had an unwanted sexual experience while viewing positive and/or negative interpersonal pictures. A total of 140 participants ranging in ages from 18-66 years were recruited from Cal …

Right Hemisphere Activation to Rotary Stress in High and Low Hostile Men
… that hostile individuals would exhibit higher skin conductance levels after rotation compared with low hostile individuals. The experiment also included a dichotic listening task both before and after rotation to examine the effects of rotary stress on dichotic phoneme identification. The …

Thick psychophysiology for empathic design
… in the broad condition were told the skin conductance could mean a variety of things including moving, breathing hard, being stressed, or being excited. We analyzed the results of 143 LEGO employees. Participants in the broad skin conductance condition had a 47% chance of increasing …

Memory for Emotional Images: Mechanisms of Episodic Processing and its Psychophysiological Correlates
… images in mixed lists, but not pure lists. Skin conductance and heart rate data are collected to understand the physiological counterparts of the psychological processes in episodic memory. Results found equivalent recognition memory performance between negative and neutral images in mixed …

Ambulatory assessment of physiological arousal, emotion, and alcohol use
… measures was moderate to high for number of skin conductance responses per minute. Skin conductance level was less consistent across measures. With regard to ambulatory findings, high negative affect and high arousal states during the day were generally related to decreased likelihood of …

The influence of progressive relaxation on physiological arousal in a perceived risk situation
… observed by monitoring changes in heartbeat, skin temperature, skin conductance, electromyographic activity and blood volume pulse using a biofeedback system. The 11 member experimental group were introduced to a three day progressive relaxation training programme prior to participating in the …

Computational and Human Learning Models of Generalized Unsafety
… learning model was used to predict skin-conductance learning during stressor, stressor context and general contexts to determine which best predicts Pavlovian learning. TD learning is expected to better predict skin-conductance in individuals with higher fear inhibition in comparison …

Cognitive and Psychophysiological Investigation of Chronic Pain
… responding (particularly, increased skin conductance responses) when compared to controls. Results confirmed that there were no differences between chronic pain patients and control subjects on reaction time and accuracy. Physiological indices, on the other hand, showed that chronic …

The psychophysiology of risk processing and decision making at a regional stock exchange
… six different types of physiological signals-skin conductance/galvanic skin response (SCR/GSR), blood volume pulse (BVP), electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram (EMG), and temperature (Temp)-of monetarily motivated professionals making high pressure decisions. From …
