PsPM-trSP2: Skin Conductance Response to Neutral Pictures with Auditory Distractors

Skin conductance response measurements from 61 healthy participants aged 25.7 +/- 4.5 years. The data captures responses to 45 neutral IAPS pictures presented for 1 second each, while participants listened to regular or random distractor sounds. The dataset was created by Dominik R. Bach at University College London, based on the methodology described in Bach et al. (2015).

Use Cases

• Training models to predict physiological arousal based on stimulus presentation parameters.
• Analyzing the impact of auditory distractors on skin conductance response to neutral visual stimuli.
• Benchmarking algorithms for time-series analysis of psychophysiological data.
• Studying individual differences in autonomic nervous system reactivity among healthy adults.

Strengths

• Includes data from 61 participants with demographic details (30 males, 31 females, aged 25.7 +/- 4.5 years).
• Stimulus presentation parameters are precisely described (45 pictures, 1-second duration, three blocks).
• Experimental design includes controlled auditory distraction conditions (regular vs. random sounds).

Limitations

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