ActionGSR: A Combination Galvanic Skin Response-Accelerometer for Physiological Measurements in Active Environments

The galvanic skin response (GSR), also known as elec- trodermal response, measures changes in electrical resistance across two regions of the skin. Galvanic skin response can measure arousal levels in children with autism; however, the GSR signal may be overwhelmed by the vigorous movements of the children. This paper introduces ActionGSR, a wireless sensor capable of measuring both GSR and acceleration simultaneously in an attempt to dis ambiguate valid GSR signals from motion artifacts.
