Empatica Electodermal Activity or Biovotion Galvanic Skin Response #80

Unless I'm mistaken these are the same thing from the sensor perspective. Should probably harmonise on a single definition.

Indeed, the empatica docs state that EDA is measured with a GSR sensor. E4 unit is (micro)siemens, the reciprocal of (k)Ohm used in Biovotion. We’d have to look at what unit conversion would do to precision.
