It can take the most random sounding topic and make it interesting. I've always been interested in the whole biofeedback thing, and GSR biofeedback is an especial pet topic of mine.ĭo you have any idea bout how one would go about making a basic galvanic skin response device, or if it's even possible to do at home? I would be really curious to try this out as a weekend project. Is there any way to jerry-rig some of that galvanic skin response equipment at home? That sounds like it could be a really fun project.

I know that some people can train themselves to beat the lie detector test, but it's not like you can retrain your skin, right? So how does that work? I wonder who first figured out the connection between the GSR and lying? I bet his colleagues looked at him like he was crazy when he first proposed that project!īut I do have one question - if the whole GSR thing works, then how can people beta a galvanic skin response monitor in a lie detector test? The traditional theory of the GSR analysis is based on the assumption that skin resistance varies with the state of sweat glands in the skin. for instance the conductance, caused by the variation of the human body sweating. This is such a cool article! I had some vague idea that the skin could conduct electricity, but I had no idea that you could actually use the galvanic skin response as biofeedback. Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) The Galvanic Skin Response ( GSR ), also named Electrodermal Activity ( EDA) and Skin Conductance ( SC ), is the measure of the continuous variations in the electrical characteristics of the skin, i.e. It's pretty simple, you just need an arduino board.

December 5, Charlie 89, yeah you could make your own GSR at home.
