Abstract The relationship between changes in skin conductance s.c. and skin evaporative water loss e.w.l. has been studied. s.c. and e.w.l. have been recorded simultaneously from adjacent palmar skin areas of volunteers who were exposed to acoustic stimulation. s.c. has been recorded using a constant-voltage method. e.w.l. was recorded by evaporimetry, a measurement method which has high sensitivity and a short response time compared with previously used methods. The results show good correlation between the responses, indicating that the same mechanism controls both variables. The response in e.w.l. is delayed compared with the s.c. response.
