Abstract
The Empatica E3 is a wearable wireless multi- sensor device for real-time computerized biofeedback and data acquisition. The E3 has four embedded sensors: photoplethysmo- graph (PPG), electrodermal activity (EDA), 3-axis accelerometer, and temperature. It is small, light and comfortable and it is su

It is recommended that distal sites be used in preference to medial sites in the recording of skin conductance activity, because informal observations suggest that the distal site may be more reactive than the medial site.
