Abstract

Despite improvements in measuring equipment since the discovery of electrodermal phenomena more than 100 years ago, much of the research in this area has been limited to observational measurements performed over short periods of time in lab settings or artificial clinical environments. Our goal is to develop a wearable electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor that is low-cost, light, comfortable and unobtrusive to the user’s activities for long-term ambulatory measurements of EDA.
