Electrodermal activity patient simulator.

ABSTRACT: Electrodermal activity (EDA) is an electrical property of the human skin, correlated with person's psychological arousal. Nowadays, different types of EDA measuring devices are used in highly versatile fields-from research, health-care and education to entertainment industry. But despite their universal use the quality of their measuring function (their accuracy) is questioned or investigated very seldom. In this paper, we propose a concept of an EDA patient simulator-a device enabling metrological testing of EDA devices by means of a variable resistance. EDA simulator was designed based on a programmable light-controlled resistor with a wide resistance range, capable of simulating skin conductance levels (SCL) and responses (SCR) and was equipped with an artificial hand. The hand included
