INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the research project was to evaluate the effectiveness of three different electrolyte media used for electrodermal recordings. The specific aims for this project were to determine which of three compounds, differing only in the base medium, provided optimal skin conductance monitoring, did not disrupt the skin integrity, and maintained electrode effectiveness for a minimum of a 24 hours of use.
METHODOLOGY
The objectives of the project were met using a variety of techniques. First, a sample of 3 physically active young adult women and 3 perimenopausal women wore three separate electrodes approximately 1 1/2 inches below the clavicle four inches apart. For this aspect of the study, skin was assessed prior to application of the electrodes and at completion of the 24-hours of wear. In addition, participants were surveyed regarding any participant identified issues with the electrodes such as itching or leakage of the media. The two most effective......
