This BSL lesson demonstrates a number of important autonomic concepts and is a great introduction to EDA (a.k.a. GSR).
Students record the standard physiological measures of a polygraph and examine the effects of cognitive behavior and emotion. Students record changes in respiratory rate, heart rate and skin resistance. Each Subject answers a number of simple questions and watches a presentation to stimulate a response. It is possible to use a variety of different stimuli for the lesson.
The lesson is extremely flexible and allows the instructor to look at a variety of autonomic principles.
To become familiar with procedures for recording electrodermal activity.
To observe and record the changes in respiratory rate, heart rate, and skin resistance associated with somatic and special sensory stimuli.
To observe and record changes in respiratory rate, heart rate , and skin resistance associated with cognitive behavior and emotion.
To analyze a 3-channel polygraph recording under various experimental conditions to gain a better understanding of polygraphy and its potential for use and misuse.
