HGM1: a research-oriented portable heart rate and galvanic skin response monitor.
A convenient portable recording device, HGM1, which allows digital field recording of skin conductance and heart rate data with laboratory levels of precision, is described. Examples of individual data are provided from a study of orienting response habituation, and from students participating in a study of examination anxiety, recorded while they sat scheduled class examinations. These illustrate the potential value of the device in field studies.
