BACKGROUND The number of skin conductance fluctuations (NSCF) expresses sympathetic skin nerve activity. The response entropy (RE) measures electromyographic and electroencephalographic activity in the forehead. The state entropy (SE) measures mainly electroencephalographic activity. When the suppression of frontal muscular activity is complete, RE is equal to SE. RE-Delta is defined as SE minu...
