Training Goals for Skin Conductance
For stress management the user needs to train to NOT fire his or her sweat glands, which means little activity of the vagus nerve which means little mental agitation. In an office environment this usually translates into less stress.
Since it takes a while for the sweat to dry out, the relaxation response we measure is much slower than an agitation response. Nevertheless we can objectively speak of a relaxation response, whenever the skin conductance level goes down.
