Skin Conductance (GSR) Sensor
The GSR Sensor measures sweat gland activity at the fingers or in the palm of the hand. Skin Conductance (SC) is also known as galvanic skin response (GSR) or electrodermal activity (EDA). The sensor comes with Ag-AgCL velcro straps snap-on electrodes, which can be used over 100 times. The electrodes are attached to the fingers of the non-dominant hand.
Skin conductance is expressed in microsiemens. Sweating is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system and this response is closely related to arousal. The sensor has been designed to measure minute (1/1000) micro-siemens relative changes in sweat activity.
Features
The GSR Sensor for NeXus offers:
- Skin Conductance Sensor
- For the Q32 the combined Skin Conductance / Temperature Sensor
- Adjustable velcro straps for every size finger
- Easy snap-on leads
Systems
The Skin Conductance Sensor is available in 1 type NeXus: for the NeXus-10 (MKI, MKII), NeXus-4, NeXus 32F. This sensor comes with a ODU Aluminium connector.
For the NeXus-Q32 the Combined Skin Conductance Temperature Sensor is available and comes with a black plastic ODU connector.
