GSR Amp
Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) Amp
Overview
A fully isolated galvanic skin response (GSR) amplifier with low voltage, 75 Hz AC excitation and automatic zeroing. The GSR equipment is designed to work with a C Series Front End Interface or traditional PowerLab data acquisition system to measure human GSR, now known as electrodermal activity (EDA). The low-voltage AC excitation reduces the electrode polarization artifacts found in DC systems.
Included with the GSR Amp:
- GSR Finger Electrodes (Snap Lead)
- Velcro® straps suitable for adults

Key Features
- 75 Hz oscillator which supplies a near square wave, low-impedance, low-voltage (22 mVrms) signal to an electrode on one finger of the subject.
- Galvanic isolation for subject safety and approval to the IEC60601-1 standard for human connection as a body protected (BF rated) instrument.
- Automatic zeroing
- Supplied with GSR Finger Electrodes and adult Velcro® straps
