Abstract

Abstract : A data collection system for the recording of autonomic nervous system variables was constructed in order to facilitate data reduction for a number of experiments in which autonomic nervous system reactions are of interest as the dependent variables. This system is employed in experiments on pain perception, feedback of emotional reactions, the subject's facilitation or inhibition of his autonomic reactions by self-initiated signals, and the conditioning of autonomic nervous system reactions to critical symbols and their generalization to related symbols. Continuous samplings of seven data channels are being recorded in sevenchannel IBM format on digital magnetic tape: (a) reaction time, (b) skin conductance, (c) heartrate, (d) digital blood flow, (e) respiration, (f) muscle action potential, and (g) body movement.
