Unit-Independent Low-Rate Wrist GSR Processing for Stress Detection Using Phasic nSCR Features

Galvanic skin response (GSR) is widely used for stress detection, but wrist-based GSR remains challenging because its absolute amplitude can differ substantially from laboratory-grade palmar measurements. In this paper, we propose a unit-independent low-rate wrist GSR processing pipeline to extract the number of skin conductance responses per minute (nSCR/min) as a stress-related feature. We collect paired wrist and palmar GSR recordings from 31 participants during sitting baseline, standing baseline, neutral speaking, and the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST), a laboratory social stressor task. The proposed pipeline cleans the raw GSR signal, decomposes it into tonic skin conductance level (SCL) and phasic skin conductance response (SCR), applies robust z-score normalization, and detects phasic SCR peaks to compute nSCR/min. Using random forest on 25Hz We-Be GSR, nSCR/min achieved balanced accuracies of 0.823 and 0.871 for binary classification between TSST and the sitting and standing baselines, respectively. Moreover, the 25Hz We-Be GSR features achieved comparable balanced accuracy to the original 100Hz features across the evaluated tasks. These results suggest the feasibility of low-rate, unit-independent wrist GSR processing for wearable stress detection.
