Abstract
Galvanic skin response (GSR) is the change in electrical properties on the skin caused by either environmental changes or changes in an individual’s emotional/cognitive state. Studies have shown that there is a direct relationship between brain regions and their influence on EDR. Several off the shelf GSR sensors solutions are expensive, inaccurate, and invasive for an individual. This paper describes the design of a custom wearable device that measures electrodermal changes and displays the results on a PC. The results indicate that the GSR sensor serves as a highly accurate, low cost, battery-operated solution. Future applications of this wearable sensor may include monitoring stress levels of those with dementia, anxiety, and PTSD to name a few.
