Comparative Assessment of Physiological Responses to Emotional Elicitation by Auditory and Visual Stimuli.

ABSTRACT: The study of emotions through the analysis of the induced physiological responses gained increasing interest in the past decades. Emotion-related studies usually employ films or video clips, but these stimuli do not give the possibility to properly separate and assess the emotional content provided by sight or hearing in terms of physiological responses. In this study we have devised an experimental protocol to elicit emotions by using, separately and jointly, pictures and sounds from the widely used International Affective Pictures System and International Affective Digital Sounds databases. We processed galvanic skin response, electrocardiogram, blood volume pulse, pupillary signal and electroencephalogram from 21 subjects to extract both autonomic and central nervous system indices to a
