INSENSIBLE PERSPIRATION AND THE GALVANIC SKIN REFLEX

The Nature of the Insensible Perspiration.

Notes on the seasonal variation of insensible perspiration in man.

The amount of water loss by the insensible perspiration from the dorsal skin area of the hand of Japanese males and females was measured through different seasons of the year. It is generally assumed that the insensible water loss increases proportionally to the increase in the air temperature, or the skin temperature (1). Our careful observations, however, demonstrated that the insensible pers...

Independence of the galvanic skin reflex from the vasoconstrictor reflex in man.

The psycho-galvanic reflex; a comparison of A.C. skin resistance and skin potential changes.

Two closely-related electro-dermal phenomena constitute the so-called " psycho-galvanic reflex ". These are (a) a decrease in the electrical resistance of the skin, and (b) a change in the skin electromotive force in response to a wide variety of stimuli. Fere (1888) connected two electrodes on the forearm of a subject in series with a weak source of electricity and a galvanometer. He observed ...

Determination of Electrical Parameters for Skin during Galvanic Skin Reflex from Continuous Measurement

The skin impedance is well various and changeable rapidly, so it is not easy to measure precisely the all frequency characteristics(l). In order to measure the all frequency characteristics, there are two methods as follows. One is multi-frequency points measuring method and the other is the fast fourier transformation (FFT) method from the response in time domain. However, the former demands v...
