ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus utilizing electrodermal response as a control mechanism. A specific embodiment of the method and apparatus utilizing a personal computer having a game paddle input port is described. The time rate of change in the electrodermal response of a biologic individual is sensed independently of the absolute value of the electrodermal response and continuously adjusted toward a time rate of change approaching the average time rate of change which the biologic individual cna consciously achieve in such electrodermal response. The resultant time rate of change is utilized as the input to a computer in order to provide the control.
