COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, DEVICE AND METHOD FOR MEASURING THE AROUSAL OF A USER
First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium containing a computer program product for processing galvanic skin response signals, which when run on a computer controls the computer to estimate a level of arousal, or at least a change in the level of arousal, of a user, provided with an algorithm that is configured to control a computer to calculate a third or higher central moment of a recorded galvanic skin response signal and to derive an estimation of the level of arousal from said third or higher central moment.

Abstract
Computer program product for processing GSR (galvanic skin response) signals, which when run on a computer controls the computer to estimate a level of arousal, or at least a change in the level of arousal, of a user, provided with an algorithm that is configured to control a computer to calculate a third or higher central moment of a recorded GSR signal and to derive an estimation of the level of arousal from said third or higher central moment.

10. An arousal measuring device, comprising a galvanic skin response sensor for recording galvanic skin response signals from a user, a processing circuit for processing the recorded galvanic skin response signals and a storage arrangement for storing the recorded and/or processed galvanic skin response signals and an algorithm, wherein the algorithm is configured to control the arousal measuring device to calculate a third or higher central moment of a recorded galvanic skin response signal and to derive an estimation of the level of arousal, or at least a change in the level of arousal, from said third or higher central moment.
- 11. A method for estimating a level of arousal, at least a change in the level of arousal, of a user, wherein galvanic skin response signals are received from a galvanic skin response sensor, wherein a third or higher central moment of the galvanic skin response signals is calculated, wherein said third or higher central moment is used to derive an estimation of the level of arousal, at least a change in the level of arousal.
