PsPM-RRM1-2: Psychophysiological Responses to Electric and Visual Stimuli

29 healthy participants' skin conductance, ECG, respiration, and eye tracker measurements were recorded in response to electric stimulation or visual targets. The dataset includes 25 recordings for the electric shock condition (RRM1) and 26 for the visual detection task (RRM2). It was created by Dominik R. Bach of the University of Zurich.

Use Cases

• Modeling skin conductance response (SCR) dynamics based on electric shock stimuli.
• Analyzing pupillometry changes based on visual target detection tasks.
• Investigating correlations between electrocardiogram (ECG) and respiration signals during discomforting stimuli.
• Comparing physiological responses between electric and visual stimulus modalities.

Strengths

• Includes multimodal physiological data (SCR, ECG, respiration, eye tracking) for 29 participants.
• Stimulus parameters are precisely described, such as 0.2 ms electric pulses and 200 ms visual targets.
• Data collection involved individually adjusted electric shock amplitudes just below the pain threshold.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• A discrepancy in the experimental method (baseline period placement) is noted in the description.
