ECG Setup<br />

BIOPAC Systems, Inc.<br />

1. Place electrodes on the inside of the right wrist and on<br />

inside of both ankles, above ankle bone.<br />

2. Place electrode leads as shown in diagram.<br />

Red - Left ankle<br />

Black (GND) - Right ankle<br />

White - Right Wrist<br />

Running the Experiment<br />

The template is set to display CH 1 GSR, CH 3 Hand switch, and CH 40 Heart Rate. Heart rate is calculated<br />

from the ECG signal, but the CH 2 ECG signal is hidden.<br />

Recorder will press the hand switch to mark when the aberrant picture appears.<br />

Hints for minimizing data error<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Wait at least five minutes after attaching the GSR transducer and electrodes so the skin has ample time<br />

to absorb the gel.<br />

For best results, subject should not move and recording should not be stopped between calibration and<br />

the experiment segments.<br />

The subject must avoid excessive extraneous movement.<br />

Press the hand switch every time the clown picture appears (to be used as a time marker).<br />

Remove all jewelry or other metal objects.<br />

Check all cable connections.<br />

Signal Check<br />

1. Position subject approximately 2 feet directly in<br />

front of computer monitor.<br />

2. Click “Start” to begin recording.<br />

3. Have the subject inhale deeply.<br />

4. Review the data after 10-15 seconds, while<br />

continuing to record.<br />

• If CH 1 GSR displays a significant<br />

change, as shown at right, continue<br />

without stopping the recording. If not,<br />

check all connections and repeat.<br />
