Sensor measures the skin conductance, as a function of sweat gland activity, between two electrodes. The sweatier a person gets, the higher the skin conductance. As the anxiety level of the person decreases, so does the conductance due to reabsorption. Operating room personnel use the GSR and the Blood Volume Pulse Sensor, which uses light to detect blood pressure in the extremities, to monitor their patients. The Respiration Sensor is a large Velcro belt that is placed around the chest and it monitors the diaphragm by recording the amount the belt stretches.
Runners use a respiration sensor to maximize their work outs.
The Electromyogram Sensor measures muscle activity and this can be extremely helpful in cases such as jaw clenching. These components make up the Sensing module. This section is very comprehendible. I am able to understand how the equipment works. I agree that this is an effective way to measure a person s physiological responses to emotion, but I do not feel it is an appropriate way to create labels for emotions because everyone is different.
