The skin is a conductor of electricity. When there is an interaction between a person's environment and their physiological state a small electrical current moves through the body. This is called an electrodermal response (EDR). Galvanic skin response is one way of measuring these EDRs. Either skin resistance or skin conductance can be the measured variable.
