Before long, smartphones will be able to deduce our emotional state from our social interactions and tone of voice, while wearable sensors will measure adherence to "smart" medicines and gather important data on a range of factors relevant to mental health, including sleep quality, cardiovascular status, galvanic skin response and even gait.
Most of them come packed with sensors that can track where you've been (GPS), how much exercise you've done (pedometer and heart-rate sensor) and how stressed you are (galvanic skin response and temperature sensor).
ABN's interest stemmed from research showing that day-traders who exhibit more intense emotional reactions to monetary gain or loss also have significantly worse trading results.The Rationalizer, which is still under development, consists of a bracelet that measures something called a galvanic skin response.
Two other galvanic applications of conductive ceramics are in batteries and fuel cells.
Instead, the market system imparts a galvanic charge to economic life by unleashing competitive, gain-oriented energies.
In this way, when the protective barrier is broken, the more reactive metal is corroded preferentially, and the steel is given "galvanic" protection.
Electrodeposits of cadmium are also used for galvanic protection of steel.
Their stage shows spearheaded by Strummer's teeth-clenched, raw-throated passion were as galvanic as anything else available in a decidedly galvanic era.
At low temperatures its action is primarily galvanic, while at high temperatures it oxidizes to form a barrier layer.
Unlike Maxwell, Helmholtz was interested in and had studied electrochemistry, particularly the nature of the galvanic cell.
Abandoning the occult folderol of the conventional Gothic novel, she made her protagonist a practicing "scientist"—though the term scientist was not actually coined until 1834 and gave him an interest in galvanic electricity and vivisection, two of the advanced technologies of the early 1800s.
