WHAT DOES GALVANIC SKIN RESPONSE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Skin conductance

Skin conductance, also known as galvanic skin response, electrodermal response, psychogalvanic reflex, skin conductance response or skin conductance level, is a method of measuring the electrical conductance of the skin, which varies depending on the amount of sweat-induced moisture on the skin. Sweat is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, so skin conductance is used as an indication of psychological or physiological arousal. If the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system is highly aroused, then sweat gland activity also increases, which in turn increases skin conductance. In this way, skin conductance can be used as a measure of emotional and sympathetic responses. There has been a long history of electrodermal activity research, most of it dealing with spontaneous fluctuations or reactions to stimuli.

Definition of galvanic skin response in the English dictionary

The definition of galvanic skin response in the dictionary is a change in the electrical resistance of the skin occurring in moments of strong emotion; measurements of this change are used in lie detector tests GSR.
