Skin Conductance Response

Skin Conductance Response (SCR) refers to the way your skin's electrical conductance changes due to sweating, which is controlled by the nervous system. When you experience emotions like stress, excitement, or fear, your body reacts by making your sweat glands more active, especially on your palms and fingers. This increased sweating makes your skin better at conducting electricity. Measuring SCR helps researchers and clinicians assess emotional reactions, stress levels, or arousal states because these electrical changes reflect your body's internal responses to different stimuli or experiences.
