Abstract

This paper reports a novel instrument for human current perception threshold (CPT) measurement. An objective galvanic skin response (GSR) method is employed to monitor subject's response to quantitative stimuli. Experimental results show that new system is more objective and easy to operate in comparison with conventional quantitative sensory testing systems.
