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.

Dehydration can sneak up on you. Whether you're out jogging or sitting at a desk, it's easy to lose track of your fluid ...

We found that participants higher in psychopathy reported feeling less pain than participants who were lower in psychopathy. The high psychopathy group even rated their own pain thresholds as less ...

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.

Your future smartwatch may tell you when it's time to take a break and drink some water. Researchers at UC Berkeley have designed a wearable sweat sensor that can detect your hydration status during ...

The fear response is measured using a skin-conductance response and the degree of conductance measures is then related to how strongly the participant is identifying with their virtual body.

We measured their reactions from their sweat responses. This is called skin conductance response (SCR), and is activated in times of "fight or flight," or even when we need to pay attention.
