Fig. 9From: Facial skin blood flow responses during exposures to emotionally charged movies a The relationships between the %changes in facial skin vascular conductance and the subjective ratings of pleasantness or consciousness based on the data obtained from 9 subjects. The data on skin vascular conductance in the bilateral infraorbital and cheek regions were pooled and averaged, respectively. b The relationships between the %changes in limb skin vascular conductance and the subjective ratings of pleasantness or consciousness based on the data obtained from six or seven subjects. If a significant correlation was obtained, a linear regression line was inserted. The data points obtained during exposures to emotionally charged movies are represented by different symbols [comedy (white circles), landscape (grey circles), and horror (black circles)]. NS not significant. The P values and correlation coefficients (γ) by Spearman’s rank correlation method were inserted in all significant comparisons (P < 0.05)Back to article page
