Abstract
An automated skin resistance measurement device having an applied signal selector for selecting one or more applied signal forms from an applied signal library, an applied signal generator in communication with the applied signal selector for generating one or more DC applied signals, each applied signal being in the form of a selected applied signal form, one or more applied signal applicators for administering the applied signals to test zones on the skin of a human subject, and one or more applied signal resistance sensors for sensing the resistance of the skin of the subject at the test zones.

26. Apparatus for the automated measurement of one or more resistance functions for one or more test zones on the skin of a human subject, the apparatus comprising:
-
a) applied signal selector for use by a user in selecting one or more applied signal forms; b) applied signal generator in communication with the applied signal selector for generating a respective applied signal for each selected applied signal form, each applied signal being an electric voltage signal in the form of the applied signal form for which it is generated; c) one or more applied signal applicators in communication with the applied signal generator for applying one or more of the applied signals to each test zone; and d) one or more applied signal resistance sensors for measuring the resistance of the skin of the subject at each of the test zones as a function of time, as applied signals are applied to the test zones. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
