Skin temperature is visible in channel 1 in red. Every two seconds or so (FIND OUT), one sample of skin temperature is measured and visualized. The Y-axis to the right shows a small range of temperature around the current viewing area in degrees Celsius. A normal, healthy body temperature is 36-37C, so you will notice that the measured temperature is always lower. This is because it’s measured on the skin surface instead of an enclosed body part like under the tongue or arm pit. If the temperature is much lower than around 30C, the data should not be analyzed because it’s an indicator that a technical error prevented accurate measurements.
Analysis
Determine measurements of interest
Output data
Go to Analysis → Find cycle
First tab: Select fixed time intervals and interval width 1 second.
...
Selection tab: this interval range is where the software will compute measurement values from.
...
Output tab: on the Measurement sub tab, select ‘save measurements into Excel spreadsheet file’ and keep the default of ‘Apply measurement preset’ in the dropdown menu. This means your previously determined measurements of interest will be used and output into excel.
Then click “Find all in focus areas”.
...
If you have more than one focus area, you can select whether you want all focus areas output into the same file and tab, or into one spreadsheet per focus area. My suggestion is to use a single spreadsheet.
...
If this warning occurs, click yes:
...
Let’s say you entered 1-second intervals on the first Find Cycle tab, but the acquisition software can only sample in 2-second intervals, your will receive the following warning. It is definitely important to know your sampling rate, but either way, you will receive the smallest possible sampling intervals this way.
...
Your output will look like this. Note this is for 3 focus areas (here Stroop), they will be pasted underneath each other.
