Groove – GSR Sensor (PRE-ORDER WITH SALES)

Product Description: Grove – GSR Sensor

The Grove – GSR (Galvanic Skin Response) sensor is a user-friendly module designed to measure the electrical conductivity of your skin, a key indicator of emotional arousal and stress. This sensor is perfect for projects in biofeedback, human-computer interaction, and psychological research.

The sensor works by applying a small, safe voltage to the skin and measuring the change in resistance. When a person becomes emotionally excited or stressed, the sympathetic nervous system activates sweat glands, which increases the skin’s moisture and, consequently, its electrical conductivity. This change is then measured by the sensor.

Key Features:

* Plug-and-Play Simplicity: As part of the Grove system, the sensor features a standard 4-pin connector, allowing for easy, solderless connection to a Grove base shield or a compatible microcontroller.

* Sensitive Measurement: The sensor is designed to accurately detect subtle changes in skin conductivity.

* Easy to Use: The kit includes two conductive finger cots and a coiled cable, making it simple to attach the sensor to a user’s fingers for effective readings.

* Compact and Durable: The sensor board is small and robust, making it suitable for a variety of project enclosures.

* Wide Applications: Ideal for projects related to lie detection, stress monitoring, biofeedback games, and interactive art installations.

Technical Specifications:

* Interface: Grove connector (I2C or Analog, depending on the specific model)

* Measurement Principle: Galvanic Skin Response (GSR)

* Included Components: Sensor board, coiled cable, and two finger cots.

This Grove GSR sensor provides a simple and effective way to integrate physiological data into your electronic projects.
