Foreword
This book presents a critical review of methodological studies for the analysis of the electrodermal activity (EDA), one of the most powerful noninvasive peripheral measures of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) neural pathway. Through the book, the author leads the reader from a thorough description of electrodermal physiological phenomena to an advanced introduction and discussion of recommended techniques for correct data collection and effective data analysis. Several experimental setups are also presented. Although the EDA signal is fairly easy to acquire and very informative, powerful methodologies and efficient models are required to make meaningful inferences on the dynamics at the central nervous system l
