Abstract
Some physicians use the electrical conductance of the skin, particular ly at the acupuncture points, for diagnostic purposes. This paper deal s with the quantification of the skin conductance at some acupuncture points under well defined conditions using the electrode materials gol d, graphite, silver and brass. The observed current response appeared to be best described by two exponentials.
