[1][2] It is a non-invasive, scientific technique with a degree of sensitivity and a neuro-psychological method of interrogation which is also referred ...
Electrodermal activity (EDA) is the property of the human body that causes continuous variation in the electrical characteristics of the skin. Historically, EDA has also been known as skin conductance, galvanic skin response (GSR), electrodermal response (EDR), psychogalvanic reflex (PGR), skin conductance response (SCR), sympathetic skin ...
