PsPM-SCRV6: Skin Conductance Responses to Electric Pain Stimulation

PsPM-SCRV6 contains skin conductance response measurements from 20 healthy participants in response to discomforting electric shocks. The dataset was authored by Dominik R. Bach at University College London. Stimuli were 0.5ms square pulses repeated at 500Hz for 100ms, with amplitudes averaging 0.78mA.

Use Cases

• Classifying physiological arousal states based on skin conductance response amplitude.
• Analyzing temporal patterns of pain response based on inter-trial intervals.
• Training models to differentiate responses between male and female participants.
• Predicting stimulus intensity from physiological measurements.
• Developing benchmarks for biosignal processing algorithms.

Strengths

• Includes data from 20 participants with balanced gender representation (10 males, 10 females).
• Provides precise stimulus parameters: pulse width (0.5ms), frequency (500Hz), duration (100ms), and amplitude (mean 0.78mA +/- 0.43mA).
• Uses randomized inter-trial intervals (29s, 34s, or 39s) to control for anticipation effects.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness is unverified as the last update date is unknown.
