- | Exosomatic methods use an external electrical source to pass a small alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) through the skin to measure the electric resistance to this current. The most commonly used method is an exosomatic one in which skin conductance (the reciprocal of skin resistance) is measured. Generally, exosomatic methods that use DC are most commonly used, and measurement of skin conductance is more common than measurement of resistance. | + | **Exosomatic methods** use an external electrical source to pass a small alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) through the skin to measure the electric resistance to this current.

The use of EDA measures and other biosensors can allow for non-invasive measurement of individuals of cognitive and affective states while not interrupting the performance of other tasks. This can allow for the development of affective computing systems that dynamically respond to users’ cognitive and affective state in real time. In many cases, feature extraction alone may be all that is required from EDA data; however, machine learning algorithms are useful when considering systems that need to adapt and respond to changing EDA measurements in real-time. | The use of EDA measures and other biosensors can allow for non-invasive measurement of individuals of cognitive and affective states while not interrupting the performance of other tasks.
