EDA scan

[OriginalCyndi]

What does this term actually mean? It's on my phone as a feature. Searching the community has questions that use the term but assume folks ALREADY know what it means but I do not.

The term I am looking for a definition is "EDA scan"! Even the subject heading automatically changed it to First Steps. But WHAT IS EDA ? Thanks.

Ack. Then it said best answer but there has been no answer. HELP

@OriginalCyndi I removed the "Best Answer" designation from that post, so we don't have to worry about that. 

EDA stands for electrodermal activity. It's a measurement of how your body reacts to stress. You can learn more about it here 

I hope that answers your questions. Let me know...

@OriginalCyndi   Just to give you a better idea of what this scan is measuring.  If you've ever seen pictures of people taking lie detector tests, you see them wearing a skin sensor probe.  That sensor is looking for a stress response, because people who are lying will have an increased stress response.  The EDA scan is basically the same technology.
