How do I interpret the Skin Conductance Response derivative metrics?

The Skin Conductance Response derivative metrics are signal characteristics that are used to define Electrodermal Activity(EDA). Check out the image below to understand the commonly used SCR metrics used to quantify EDA.



The following signals can be recorded using EmotiBit(FW 1.3.33+ required):

  1. Skin Conductance Response Amplitude[SA]: It is the change in EDA from the time an onset was detected to the peak of the response. It is measured in uS.
  2. Skin Conductance Response Rise Time[SR]: The time taken for the EDA to peak, after an EDA onset was detected. It is measured in seconds.
  3. Skin Conductance Response Frequency[SF]: It is the count of EDA events detected in unit time. It is measured as events/min.
