Abstract

We are looking for a relationship between electrodermal activity and the amplitude of fluctuations in the size of the pupils, depending on the magnitude of the stress (stress state) experienced. Studies have been carried out on the psychophysiological reactions of a person (emotions) arising in response to external stress factors (stimuli). For this, a device was used to register changes in pupil size and galvanic skin response. It turned out that the change in the values of galvanic skin response and pupil size correlates (pā€‰=ā€‰0.9) in the presence of emotions (all other things being equal). The result of measuring galvanic skin reaction (GSR) shows that the level of attention during the test to some stimuli was higher than to others. This means that the first stimuli may be more significant for the subject than the second. The results obtained make it possible to link the galvanic skin response and the pupil response in response to the stimulus material. Our research also shows that the pupil diameter signal has a good discriminating ability to detect changes in the psychological state of a person. The results can be useful for the development of Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence.
