One aspect of the study examined effects of instructions on verbal differential semantic conditioning of the aSR and conventional differential semantic conditioning requiring discovery of the CS-US contingen...

GSR Analysis Of Hypnotic Analgesia

This work aims to verify whether Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) can be used as a valid pain indicator and to analyze the changes in GSR during hypnotic analgesic condition. Two types of experiments were conducted namely ‘Pain-GSR’ (PG) and ‘Hypnosis-Pain-GSR’ (HPG) experiments for 10 subjects. The experiments were done under pain and no-pain conditions on subjects of both the gender in the age gr...

Variations in Obesity within the UK
