Abstract
The biological measurements feasible to employ in this field are those that are noninvasive, easy to use, and relatively non-time-consuming in application. The types of measures that have been used fall generally under three heads:
-
1.
Electrodermal activity
-
a.
Skin conductance
-
b.
Skin potential
-
a.
-
2.
Cardiovascular activity
-
a.
Heart rate
-
b.
Vasomotor activity
-
a.
-
3.
Cortical activity
-
a.
“Ongoing” EEG
-
b.
Event-related potentials
-
a.
