Electrodermal activity is what lie detectors measure, but what is it?, with Christopher Moyer
Listen now
Description
I talk with psychologist Christopher Moyer about electrodermal activity (EDA), also known as galvanic skin response (GSR), which is what lie detectors measure. Topics discussed include: What are spikes in electrodermal activity actually telling us? We talk about its use in lie detectors. We talk about lowerings in skin conductance and what that indicates. We talk about the nature of stress; and how there can be good and bad stress. We talk about poker and gambling, including some gambling-related studies that measured electrodermal activity.  Resolve to Evolve - New Year's Resolutions Guide!A tactical self-improvement podcast, 12 months of change through incremental changes!Listen on: Apple Podcasts   Spotify Support the showTo get ad-free episodes, and more, get a premium subscription.
