Abstract
Palmar sweat measurements were obtained under resting-state conditions using both the newly developed sweat bottle technique and the frequently employed sweat print method. Measurement reliability was high for both approaches. The two methods, at least under generally nonstressful conditions, appear to reflect essentially different aspects of palmar sweating.
