Respiration
- Track changes in rate and depth
- Watch for rhythm disruption
- Record signals through pneumo belts
Electrodermal Activity
- Measure sweat gland activity
- Link spikes to sympathetic arousal
- Read signals via finger sensors
Cardiovascular
- Track heart rate fluctuations
- Monitor blood pressure changes
- Capture readings through cuff or sensor
Movement
- Detect fidgeting and micro-movements
- Flag muscular tension as countermeasure
- Record motion through dedicated sensors
The Question Set
- Open with a pre-test baseline interview
- Mix neutral baseline questions
- Compare relevant against control questions
Reading The Charts
- Score traces with algorithms and judgment
- Watch EDA spikes and respiration inhibition
- Weigh pattern and comparison, not single reactions
What Triggers Reactions
- Expect fear of consequences
- Account for cognitive load
- Recognize emotional conflict and memory
Operator Considerations
- Control your baseline deliberately
- Minimize unnecessary stress
- Maintain physiological steadiness throughout
