Skin Conductance | Golden Age

Skin conductance, also known as electrodermal activity (EDA), is the property of the human body that causes continuous variation in the electrical characteristics of the skin. Historically, EDA has been known by various names, including galvanic skin response (GSR), electrodermal response (EDR), and sympathetic skin response (SSR). With a Wikidata ID of Q1326834, skin conductance is a subclass of psychological techniques, reflex, electrophysiological phenomena, and skin physiological phenomena. Research into EDA has been conducted by various disciplines, resulting in a range of applications in fields such as psychology, medicine, and neuroscience. For instance, Johns Hopkins University has conducted studies on the use of EDA in diagnosing and monitoring neurological disorders, while Stanford University has explored its potential in developing more effective treatments for anxiety and depression.
