Abstract
A novel method for continuous measurement of sweat was proposed based on electric measurement using a pure-water-perfusing chamber. To identify mental stress, consecutive and simultaneous measurement of sweat conductivity, sweat rate and heart rate were performed in different situations. The results showed positive indications of occurrence of mental stress
