Abstract
Electrodermal activity is extensively used for measuring human emotions. Validity and reliability have been questioned by some researchers. This paper reports on highly controlled experiments to determine the validity of electrodermal activity for measuring human emotions. The authors were unable to determine the validity of electrodermal activity for measuring human emotions. Inter and intra subject variation was very high
