Specifications/remarks

1

BioPAC GSR 100 C

Labpac, psychology

Other body sensors support are also available, superlab stimuli, event trackers, streaming, wireless monitoring

Output is 0 to 50 micromho, sensitivity 0.7 nano mho

2

AD Instruments Powerlab

LabChart

Wireless support

Powerlab has other body sensors that support a range of sensors

3

iMotions GSR module

Emotions R library from GitHub

R notebooks

GSR peak, signal quality. GSR epoch

4

MSP Lab

Shimmer 3 GSR and iMotions software

Biosemi active two GSR kit

Biosemi has ANT Neuro MyLab GSR pack containing an accelerometer and temperature sensor

5

Groove GSR

(selected for experimentation)

Embedded C

\(\text{Human resistance}=(1024+2*\text{Serial port value}*10000 ) / (512-\text{serial port reading})\)

Skin resistance is the output (unlike skin conductance in other cases)

Works with a kind of Arduino called Seeeduino and raspberry pi

6

Neulog GSR:Nul 217 GSR

Plug and play modules of GSR and all other sensors

Wireless support

0 to 10 microseconds Range, ADC resolution 16 bit, Resolution 10 ns

7

Empatica

Software available after the Online account to sync data to E4 manager

Bluetooth (BLE) support

Hardware that looks like Wristwatch

8

Brain support products

Electrical conductance is the output recorded by the bipolar amplifier

Constant dc voltage 0.5 voltage

1–30 microsecond range
