Description

The Grove GSR Sensor operates on the principle of electrodermal activity, detecting changes in skin conductivity influenced by sympathetic nervous system arousal. It outputs an analog voltage signal proportional to the measured skin resistance between its two electrodes.

This v1.2 module is engineered for reliable bio-signal acquisition, featuring a stable conditioning circuit that translates micro-siemens level changes into a readable voltage range. It is designed for integration into physiological monitoring systems, human-computer interfaces, and experimental psychology setups requiring non-invasive emotional or stress response tracking.

Key Features

  • Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) sensing via two-point skin electrode measurement.
  • Nickel-plated finger contact straps for consistent and hypoallergenic electrode contact.
  • Integrated signal conditioning circuit with adjustable gain potentiometer.
  • Standard Grove 4-pin interface (Analog Out, VCC, GND) for rapid prototyping.
  • Dual-voltage operation (3.3V or 5V DC) compatible with a wide range of development boards.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for academic and hobbyist biofeedback applications.

Applications

  • Emotional arousal and stress level monitoring for biofeedback therapy devices.
  • Sleep quality and relaxation state tracking in wearable wellness gadgets.
  • Prototyping lie detection or cognitive load assessment systems for human factors research.
  • Interactive art installations triggered by audience physiological responses.
  • Integration into human-machine interfaces for adaptive system control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this GSR sensor actually measure?

This sensor measures the electrical resistance (the inverse of conductance) of the skin between its two electrodes. Changes in skin resistance are correlated with sweat gland activity driven by the sympathetic nervous system, often used as an indicator of emotional arousal or stress.

How do I connect and read data from this Grove module?

Connect the module to your microcontroller (e.g., Arduino) using the included Grove cable. Plug it into an analog Grove port or directly connect the VCC (3.3V/5V), GND, and SIG (signal) pins. Read the analog voltage value from the SIG pin using an ADC. A higher voltage corresponds to lower skin resistance (higher conductance).

What is the purpose of the onboard potentiometer?

The potentiometer adjusts the gain of the internal signal conditioning circuit. Turning it allows you to calibrate the sensor's sensitivity and output voltage range to better match the specific skin resistance baseline of the user, ensuring the signal utilizes the full resolution of your ADC.
