GSR Amp

Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) Amp

Product Code FE116
Book a demo
A fully isolated galvanic skin response (GSR) amplifier with low voltage, 75 Hz AC excitation and automatic zeroing.

Overview

A fully isolated galvanic skin response (GSR) amplifier with low voltage, 75 Hz AC excitation and automatic zeroing. The GSR equipment is designed to work with a C Series Front End Interface or traditional PowerLab data acquisition system to measure human GSR, now known as electrodermal activity (EDA). The low-voltage AC excitation reduces the electrode polarization artifacts found in DC systems.

Included with the GSR Amp:

Accessories purchased separately:

Key Features

  • 75 Hz oscillator which supplies a near square wave, low-impedance, low-voltage (22 mVrms) signal to an electrode on one finger of the subject.
  • Galvanic isolation for subject safety and approval to the IEC60601-1 standard for human connection as a body protected (BF rated) instrument.
  • Automatic zeroing
  • Supplied with GSR Finger Electrodes and adult Velcro® straps
