Electrodermal Activity Sensor for Classification of Calm/Distress Condition
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article introduces a new and unobtrusive wearable monitoring device based on electrodermal activity (EDA) to be used in health-related computing systems. This paper introduces the description of the wearable device capable of acquiring the EDA of a subject in order to detect his/her calm/distress condition from the acquired physiological signals. The lightweight wearable device is placed in the wrist of the subject to allow continuous physiological measurements. With the aim of validating the correct operation of the wearable EDA device, pictures from the International Affective Picture System are used in a control experiment involving fifty participants. The collected signals are processed, features are extracted and a statistical analysis is performed on the calm/distress condition classification. The results show that the wearable device solely based on EDA signal processing reports around 89% accuracy when distinguishing calm condition from distress condition.

There are different models for mapping and evaluation of desertification condition, such as global FAO_UNEP model. There are also several models for evaluation of desertification in Iran. In this study, tow fol/owing methods was used: 1-ICD method, (Iranian Classification of Desertification). 2- MICD method, (Modified Iranian Classification of Desertification). In this research, at first, these...
متن کاملStay calm! Regulating emotional responses by implementation intentions: Assessing the impact on physiological and subjective arousal.
Implementation intention (IMP) has recently been highlighted as an effective emotion regulatory strategy. Most studies examining the effectiveness of IMPs to regulate emotion have relied on self-report measures of emotional change. In two studies we employed electrodermal activity (EDA) and heart rate (HR) in addition to arousal ratings (AR) to assess the impact of an IMP on emotional responses...
متن کاملContinuous monitoring of electrodermal activity during epileptic seizures using a wearable sensor Citation
We present a novel method for monitoring sympathetic nervous system activity during epileptic seizures using a wearable sensor measuring electrodermal activity (EDA). The wearable sensor enables long-term, continuous EDA recordings from patients. Preliminary results from our pilot study suggest that epileptic seizures induce a surge in EDA. These changes are greater in generalized tonic-clonic ...
متن کاملElectrodermal Presentiments of Future Emotions
In previously reported double-blind experiments, electrodermal activity (EDA) monitored during display of randomly selected photographs showed that EDA was higher before emotional photos than before calm photos (p 1⁄4 0.002). This differential effect, suggestive of precognition, was dubbed ‘‘presentiment.’’ Three new double-blind experiments were conducted in an attempt to replicate the origina...
