Sources of error in AC measurement of skin conductance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Alternating current methods have the potential to improve the measurement of electrodermal activity. However, there are pitfalls that should be avoided in order to perform these measurements in a correct manner. In this paper, we address issues like the choice of measurement frequency, placement of electrodes and the kind of electrodes used. Ignoring these factors may result in loss of measurement sensitivity or erroneous measurements with artifacts that contain little or no physiological information.

Low-frequency ac measurement of the Seebeck coefficient
We have analyzed the sources of error in the measurement of the Seebeck coefficient and designed a low frequency ac method to reduce them. This method has high precision in a short time period compared to commonly used dc methods while it minimizes some major sources of error that other ac methods do not. Furthermore, the setup can be fit into a 3 mm diam 3 7 mm Teflon pressure cell and has min...

متن کاملError Analysis, Design and Modeling of an Improved Heterodyne Nano-Displacement Interferometer
A new heterodyne nano-displacement with error reduction is presented. The main errors affecting the displacement accuracy of the nano-displacement measurement system including intermodulation distortion error, cross-talk error, cross-polarization error and phase detection error are calculated. In the designed system, a He-Ne laser having three-longitudinal-mode is considered as the stabiliz...
متن کاملElectrodermal activity by DC potential and AC conductance measured simultaneously at the same skin site.
BACKGROUND For a long time, DC conductance has been the most important parameter in electrodermal routine measurements. However, DC current flow polarizes the electrodes, electrolyzes the skin, disturbs the measurement of conductance by possible varying electromotive forces (EMFs) in the circuit, and impedes the registration of the skin endosomatic DC potential. METHODS We therefore present a...
متن کاملIranian TEFL Graduates’ Conceptions of Measurement Error in Research: A Genealogical Narrative Inquiry
The aim of this study is to investigate Iranian TEFL graduates’ conception of measurement error in research. Adopting a sequential explanatory multi-method strategy (Borg, 2009), the researchers analyzed causal and temporal relations in the research narratives elicited from 30 TEFL graduates. Gee’s (1986) framework for identifying narrative discourse units (lines, stanzas, and episodes) was ado...
