electrodermal
Skin's electrical response
Electrodermal refers to the electrical properties of the skin, particularly its ability to conduct electricity.
The term appears primarily in scientific and medical contexts: electrodermal activity, electrodermal response.
These measurements detect changes in sweat gland activity, which reflect emotional or physiological arousal—the principle behind lie detector tests.
