Skin conductance measurement

[David Glasgow]

I have been wanting to add a skin conductance measure to an old rev 
application for a  a long while.  I wanted something portable and cross 
platform, and nothing really seemed to fit the bill.  I then came 
across the Handwave Bluetooth instrument from MIT.  It is described 
here:

I think it looks very promising.  The acquisition at the computer end 
is handled via Python.  I don't really know much about this, but would 
be willing to put a bit of effort into learning, if the curve isn't too 
steep, and if there was a reasonable chance of cross platform economy 
in the scripts...i.e. little or no messing about with platform specific 
stuff.

I remember there used to be some folks on the list with python 
experience, as well as physiological hardware experience too.  So, any 
thoughts or comments?  Is this likely to be as easy from the software 
point of view?  As far as I can see, this is a self build project ..... 
what kind of expertise would it involve?  And most importantly, how 
easy would it be to suck the data into a Rev app?



Best Wishes,
