Designing of a Low Cost GSR Acquisition System and Estimation of Stress Level from the Acquired Signal

Abstract

Galvanic skin response provides us information about the electro-dermal activity i.e. the electrical characteristics of the skin. The electro-dermal activity or the skin conductance is an indication of psychological or physiological arousal which can give and indirect response of physiological stress. From Ohms law (V=IR) if we can keep the current constant and vary the resistance we can get a voltage output corresponding to the resistance ,hence a circuit was made so that the current can be made constant and the resistance was measured from the subject in respect to voltage output from the acquisition system. A best feed linear curve was made with some known resistance and hence a linear equation was developed for knowing unknown resistance of the skin and hence giving idea about the stress of the subject. Thus a system is designed for knowing the skin resistance and in terms giving an idea of the emotional stress of the subject who was taken into consideration.
