What is another word for psychogalvanic skin responses?
Pronunciation: [sˌa͡ɪkə͡ʊɡɐlvˈanɪk skˈɪn ɹɪspˈɒnsɪz] (IPA) 
Psychogalvanic skin responses are a type of instrumentation used to measure the electrical conductance of the skin in response to emotional stimuli. This measurement is commonly referred to as electrodermal activity. Other synonyms for psychogalvanic skin responses include skin conductance response, electrodermal response, galvanic skin response, and skin potential response. These terms all refer to the same type of biometric measurement used in physiological monitoring and psychology research. The measurement of psychogalvanic skin responses is based on the premise that emotional arousal increases sweat gland activity, resulting in changes in the electrical conductance of the skin. This measurement is widely used in fields such as lie detection, stress management, and biofeedback therapy.
