PAIN ANALYSIS USING ELECTRODERMAL ACTIVITY

摘要

A method for accurate pain analysis using a combination of electrodermal data and self-report information is described. To obtain pain measurements, electrodermal activity is collected and analyzed. One or more biosensors obtain electrodermal data from a person. The electrodermal data is filtered to produce skin conductance values. The skin conductance values are associated with self-report pain information from a person over multiple time regions. The associating allows electrodermal activity to be related to self-reported pain (SRP) data to derive an objective pain measurement.
