Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the use of psycho-galvanic reflex to examine human emotional responses under normal and pathological conditions. It initially provides a thorough analysis of the physiological causes of galvanometric deflections, shedding light on the challenges of subconscious hand movements and the value of electrical deflections in indicating emotions. The author presents evidence that emotional reactions manifest in both electro-motive changes and reduced body resistance of the skin. The primary physiological driver of these phenomena is identified as sweat gland activity, with the author demonstrating that potential and resistance variations closely align with sweat secretion patterns. This book plays a pivotal role in the development of the psycho-galvanic reflex as a tool for understanding emotions. Its examination of the physiological mechanisms underlying galvanometric deflections and the identification of sweat gland activity as the main driver provide a solid foundation for further research and applications of this technique in various fields.
