Given the involvement of DA in cognitive processes, FAL PET can be used to examine baseline DA activity as well as changes from baseline during cognitive load tasks. This device also includes the measurement of skin temperature, which is another parameter used to analyze stress.
We used the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) method to. Galvanic skin response (GSR), also referred to as skin conductance response (SCR) or electrodermal activity (EDA), is the property that momentarily makes our skin a better conductor of electricity when we are physiologically aroused. FAL is a D2/D3 DA receptor antagonist that is sensitive to changes in DA levels in the brain. This paper describes a method on detection emotion using Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) data. In this study, GSR was recorded from fibromyalgia patients (FM) and healthy controls (HC) while they underwent scanning with -fallypride (FAL) Positron Emission Tomography (PET). GSR could potentially give insight to novel aspects of DA function.
Galvanic skin response (GSR), is a physiological measure of nervous system activation. The Mindfield eSense Skin Response is a small sensor to measure your skin conductance using two electrodes and the microphone input of your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices. It is not known how central dopamine function in pain is associated with objective peripheral measurements that are thought to be associated with the presence of pain and stress. Functional alterations of neurotransmitters such as dopamine (DA) have been implicated in fibromyalgia neuropathology. Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder that presents itself with no apparent medical explanation for the pain.
