Lesson 10: EDA, GSR and Polygraph Electro-Dermal Activity (EDA) Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) and Polygraph DATA REPORT Date: ___/___/___ Student’s Name: Katherine Rumualdo Lab Section: L01 I. Data and Calculations Subject Profile John L09 Age: ______ Height:_____________ Gender: __Male __Female Table 1 : Complete table with your recordings in Segment 1 : (10 points) After collecting your data, compare all measurements to the Resting (baseline) values using the equation below. Determine whether each parameter increased (>5% change), decreased (< -5% change), or did not change (lesser than 5% in either direction) during each procedure. Procedure Heart Rate [BPM, mean] Ventilatory Rate [BPM, mean] Change in GSR [mean] Resting (baseline) 64.52 12.93 - 0.24 Quietly saying the subject’s name 62.5 I/NC/D 13.86 I/NC/D 0.39 Counting down from 10 63.16 I/NC/D 15.15 I/NC/D - 0.33 Counting down from 30 65.21 I/NC/D 20.62 I/NC/D 0.41 Face touched 53.57 I/NC/D 18.18 I/NC/D 2.24 Revised: Tuesday, 11/17/2015
Lesson 10: EDA, GSR and Polygraph Table 2 : Complete table with Segment 2 data: (10 points) After collecting your data, compare your measurements to the Resting (baseline) values from Table 1 . As before, determine whether each parameter increased (>5% change), decreased (<-5% change), or did not change (lesser than 5% in either direction). Square Color Heart Rate Respiratory Rate Change in GSR white 58.25 I/NC/D 14.25 I/NC/D 0.11 black 58.82 I/NC/D 17.29 I/NC/D - 0.14 red 58.8 I/NC/D 11.04 I/NC/D - 0.10 blue 59.41 I/NC/D 10.45 I/NC/D - 0.12 green 63.16 I/NC/D 12.79 I/NC/D - 0.09 yellow 58.82 I/NC/D 13.36 I/NC/D - 0.13 orange 59.94 I/NC/D 13.99 I/NC/D - 0.08 brown 59.41 I/NC/D 16.9 I/NC/D - 0.11 purple 61.22 I/NC/D 18.2 I/NC/D - 0.02 Table 3 : Complete table with Segment 3 data: (10 points) After collecting your data, compare your measurements to the Resting (baseline) values from Table 1 . Determine whether each parameter increased (>5% change), decreased (<-5% change), or did not change (lesser than 5% in either direction). Note: The subject should lie on three of the questions.

Lesson 10: EDA, GSR and Polygraph II. Questions D. Segment 2 was recorded as an additional control for Segment 3. Why was Segment 2 performed in addition to Segment 1? (20 points) If there was a reaction to a particular color with a subsequent sympathetic response the change or the variations thats detected in segment 2 it will help us further confirm or deny the validity of the persons responses in questions that are presented in segment 3 E. Discuss two physiological processes responsible for changes in the galvanic skin responses. Explain your answer using your data. (20 points) the sympathetic activation of the autonomic nervous system will increase sweat release and the sweat will decrease resistance and therefore increase conductants and if you increase conductants youll see more robust signals. F. Describe three situations in which the GSR may give inconclusive results. (20 points) Environmental factors can affect it, emotional changes other than the person lying, and if the subject is upset/worried about something. G. If the measured voltage across a 47 M Ω resistor is 1.88 V, what is the current flowing through it? Show your calculation step-by-step . (Use scientific notation and conserve the proper number of significant figures. Consider the resistance as an exact quantity) (10 points) I=V/R I = 1.88 / 47x10^6 I = 4 x 10^-8 Bonus question: Based on what you learned during previous labs (EMG, EEG, ECG, etc.), which other physiological signal would you also record to improve the reliability of the polygraph as a lie detector? Explain. (10 points) EEG, recording delta and theta waves improve reliability because both of these waves depend on the emotional state of the subject. For example theta waves they occur in reponse during frustration while delta waves occur while the subject is under intense mental activity. Revised: Tuesday, 11/17/2015
