Table 2. SC signal’s features, available at.SC.features.

Variable (Labels used in exported files) Description
 Event data
 
 Event.nr Sequence number of event/marker
 Event.nid Numerical ID of event
 event.name Optional name or description of event
 Event.ud Optional user data associated with event
Continuous Decomposition Analysis (CDA) (Extraction of Continuous Phasic/Tonic Activity based on Standard Deconvolution)
 
 CDA.nSCR Number of significanta SCRs (Skin Conductance Responses)
 CDA.Latency Response latency of first significanta SCR within response window b[s].
 CDA.AmpSum Sum of significanta SCR-amplitudes of SCRs within response windowb. (reconvolved from corresponding phasic driver-peaks) [μS]
 CDA.SCR Average phasic driver within response windowb. This score represents phasic activity within response windowb most accurately, but does not fall back on classic SCR amplitudes [μS]
 CDA.ISCR Area (i.e. time integral) of phasic driver within response window. It equals SCR multiplied by size of response window b[μSbs]
 CDA.PhasicMax Maximum value of phasic activity within response windowb [μS]
 CDA.Tonic Mean tonic activity within response windowb (of decomposed tonic component)
Standard trough-to-peak (TTP) or min-max analysis
 
 TTP.nSCR Number of significanta SCRs, within response windowb
 TTP.AmpSum Sum of SCR-amplitudes of significanta SCRs within response windowb [μS]
 TTP.Latency Response latency of first significanta SCR within response windowb [s]
Global Measures
 
 Global.Mean Mean SC value within response windowb (within response window)
 Global.MaxDeflection Maximum positive deflection within response windowb

asignificant=which amplitude surpasses the threshold of 0.01 μS41

bwithin response window=the response window considered for each stimulus was different, and was equal to the whole duration of the stimulus, plus additional 300 ms to account for the relatively slow dynamics of SC response.
