Does anyone know (or remember) anything about Basal Skin Resistance?

In one of my old notebooks under a heading of "Typical Physiological Signals" I have come across:- Basal skin resistance : 0 to 1 Hz.

I am now assuming (guessing) that this actually refers to a sampling rate; otherwise, why not (kil)ohms? Of course, it could also just be an error!

I haven't been able to find much on line, except some pointers towards Galvanic Skin Response (and 1 to 10 Hz sampling rates for that one).

It also looks like there is a newer terminology about these days:- Electrodermal Activity (EDA), for example.

So here I am, waiting in anticipation ... with sweaty palms! smile


If you don't inspect ... don't expect.
