Nice Make! - "You can't get more simple than the Galvanic Skin Response GSR sensor. It is just a cut 9V LEGO motor wire and some aluminum foil wrapped around your fingers with tape. I was inspired by talks by Mindfest panelists Karen Wilkinson and Mike Petrich who talked about using this type of sensor." [via] - Link.

Yep. Only problem is this one's been around for oh, probably going on 7 years ;)
Good post though, keep folks informed about what they could be doing :)

Been looking for the GSR sensors, plan to add them to my Arduino.

There is a small, hand-held and self contained GSR2 which has sold a half a million units and is already the largest selling Galvanic Skin Response monitoring device for home biofeedback. The GSR2 precisely monitors your stress levels by translating tiny tension-related changes in skin pores into a rising or falling tone. By resting two fingers on the sensing plates you learn to lower the pitch and your stress level.
The GSR Temp 2X also includes a temperature sensor for monitoring heat levels in extremities. Stress also reduces blood flow to the hands, causing cooling. The GSR/Temp 2X home biofeedback system allows you to do "hand warming" biofeedback in addition to training with the GSR2 monitor, temperature sensor, body sensors for hands-free use, dual-sensitivity meter, earphone, instruction manual and a cassette with a short relaxation program.
There is also CalmLink Biofeedback Software for Windows, or CalmLink, is specifically designed to run with GSR2 and GSR2/Temp2X devices. CalmLink works in Windows 98/98SE, ME, 2000 and XP. The main requirement is SoundBlaster compatible sound card. GSR2 connects to a computer Sound card via Microphone in jack.
There are also 12 Behavioral Programs from leading clinicians from major medical institutions. Check it out at www.mindgrowth.com

do you need to program the rcx controller in order to run this?

Could not get the Lego unit to work. Is there a trick to this?
