Wolfram Boucsein's monograph covers electrodermal activity, the changes in the skin's electrical properties tied to sweat gland activity. This second edition updates the 1992 book and is built in three long parts: the physiology behind electrodermal phenomena, methods of recording, and applications in research on emotion, stress, sleep and psychopathology, with added material from PET and fMRI on the brain systems involved.
It is aimed at researchers in psychophysiology. Biofeedback practitioners who use skin conductance as an arousal or stress signal will find the recording methods part a careful guide to sound measurement.
