Examination of Emotional State Using Galvanic Skin Response (GSR): A Survey

Abstract

Anxiety is a condition that affects both the mind and body and is marked by feelings of worry and tension. Those who suffer from anxiety disorders often have persistent and intrusive thoughts and may also experience physical symptoms like sweating, shaking, dizziness, and an increased heart rate. One method of detecting anxiety in the human body is biofeedback, which relies on the analysis of various physiological parameters. Research has shown that various physiological factors, such as galvanic skin response, blood volume pressure, blood pressure, skin temperature, heart rate, and pupil diameter, can be used to measure the level of anxiety.

This paper provides a thorough review of the various methods for detecting stress in human beings that have been documented in the scientific literature. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the available techniques for detecting human stress and anxiety, including biofeedback. By evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of each method, this review provides valuable insights into the state-of-the-art field of human stress detection.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in developing non-invasive and reliable methods for detecting stress in human beings. The development of such techniques is important because stress and anxiety are associated with several negative health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease, depression, and decreased cognitive function. By improving our understanding of the various techniques available for detecting human stress and anxiety, this review contributes to the advancement of the field and may help to inform the development of new and more effective methods for detecting and managing stress and anxiety.
