Not long after we started to use this apparatus for investigating the galvanic skin response to auditory stimuli it was observed that it was References 1. This apparatus made use of a Wheatstone bridge circuit, in which a pulsating, direct current of constant amperage flowed continuously through a subject who was connected into one of the arms of the bridge. Several years ago we built an apparatus for measuring the galvanic skin response (psychogalvanic reflex). The use of a standardized technic by different investigators would be helpful. We have felt that by a better understanding of the variations in the technic of measuring skin resistance more consistent and comparable results could be obtained. Variations in skin resistance have often been observed which were not entirely understood. Various types of apparatus, electrodes and electrode pastes have been used in these investigations.
