Skin conductance

Skin conductance refers to the ability of your skin to conduct electricity, which varies with its moisture level. When you're experiencing certain emotional states like stress, excitement, or anxiety, your sweat glands become more active, increasing moisture and improving electrical conductivity. This change is measurable with sensors and is often used in psychological or physiological studies to assess emotional or arousal levels. Essentially, skin conductance provides a non-invasive way to monitor autonomic nervous system activity related to emotional responses.
