Using GSR/EDA 'white snap-in stickies' instead of steel & velcro, #3 of 3

---if you only have the stainless-steel & velcro finger electrodes for gsr/eda, all 4 instrument manufacturers offer either snap-in adapters or new leads with snaps.

---don't buy replacement 'white stickies' from the instrument manufacturers: buy fresher ones from where they buy them from! (PEOA members: a list is available to you that contains several direct distributors of 'white stickies')

Using GSR/EDA 'white snap-in stickies' instead of steel & velcro, #2 of 3

Most 'white stickies' (also used on the chest of EKG patients) have a shelf-life of 18 months for the typically-used 'pre-gelled' ones.
What goes bad? The 'gel' in the center of the electrode actually evaporates, making a very-poor transferance of the body's signals.
You can buy the medical gel itself if needed.

Using GSR/EDA 'white snap-in stickies' instead of steel & velcro, #1 of 3

Reminder: when fingertips are giving poor or no GSR/EDA tracings, give the white stickies a try instead, on the palm of the hand.
