Background:

Electrodermal activity (EDA) is a valuable non-invasive measure of sympathetic nervous system activity.
Extracting reliable physiological characteristics from EDA data in observational settings presents significant challenges.
Existing EDA analysis tools often lack physiological validation and are susceptible to noise, limiting their clinical utility.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel statistical model for extracting physiological characteristics from electrodermal activity (EDA) data.
To develop a physiology-informed paradigm for robust pulse selection from EDA signals.
To validate the model's performance across diverse experimental conditions and noise levels.

Main Methods:

The model is based on the integrate-and-fire physiology of sweat gland bursts, predicting inverse Gaussian (IG) inter-pulse interval structure.
A subject-specific amplitude threshold selection process for EDA pulses was developed, utilizing statistical properties of right-skewed models.
Sensitivity analysis, goodness-of-fit testing, and validation on simulated and experimental EDA data were performed.

Main Results:

The model robustly recovered physiological pulses with IG-like structure in both simulated and experimental EDA data, irrespective of noise levels.
The developed method demonstrated superior performance compared to established EDA analysis tools.
Physiological validation was achieved, capturing the underlying physiology at the time scale of EDA responses.

Conclusions:

A computationally efficient, statistically rigorous, and physiology-informed paradigm for EDA pulse selection has been presented.
The model is robust across individuals and experimental conditions, adaptable to varying noise levels.
This approach provides empirical support for using EDA as a clinical marker for sympathetic activity in various conditions.
