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.

How do physiological signals change when we experience stress? How can we monitor those changes continuously so we can aim to improve our quality of life? BIOPAC will present a wide array of noninvasive and continuous measurements of stress-related physiological signals and provide in-depth guidance about best practices for recording and data analysis.
You Will Learn How To:
• Select the right measurements and obtain good data
• Choose which signals to record-including fNIRS, ECG, EDA, Respiration, Blood pressure, etc.
• Recognize the importance of each signal in the context of the stress response
• Analyze the respective signals with live examples
• Take measures best suited for short-term vs. long-term recording
