In a new study, scientists used skin conductance — a measure of how well skin conducts electricity — to assess the emotions of 33 participants who were shown emotionally evocative videos.

The project, sponsored by startup company Full Body Sound, aims to gather biological data by analyzing the relationship between electrotherapy and skin conductance. This term refers to the electrical ...

Traces of skin conductance over time were recorded and analyzed to reveal patterns of how people respond to different emotional stimuli. Credit must be given to the creator.
