I would like to know if anyone participated in a study, with a group of people, exposing to a set of IAPS stimuli and recording several physiological measurements. I would like to share experiences.
Dear Krippl thanks for your answer. I have just read your "COMPREHENSIVE" paper. I have two quesitons. First we send a request mail to IAPS but they havent let us to use their picture data set. Do you have any opinion how can ı get this data set. Second we are showing the participants (as potential customers) various types of advertisements and recording their response (microsiemens values) simultaneously thorough Hrv and Electrodermal Activity. I am curious to find out what the microsiemens values would be for instance when the participants like or dislike the ad? In other words would the microsiemens values increase or decrease and how in these emotional states (of like / dislike)? How would we be able to determine like or dislike by looking at microsiemens values? I would be happy if you could provide info about the above.
in the field of pain I know that there are few research (Reading your comment I believe that it might be a bit far from what you have in your mind, but still I thought they might be inspiring):

Dear Martin Krippl, thanks for your input, i am reading your paper and it is an interesting add for my research. For me the most interesting issue in data collected is the GSR data; especially the values observed once the picture is displayed. I will post updates on correlations of collected data.
Dear Hakan Boz and all others participating, the issue I have with IAPS is that, even though it is the most interesting set being used for research in emotional assessment, the pictures are somehow outdated; in about 20 years there are changes in many aspects of society that make us change our response to proposed stimuli. For instance, some pictures that 20 years ago could be thought to trigger sexual arousement may not be the adjusted for the concepts we have this days. But then the question arises; if that was a standard used many times, why change it and lose the chance of comparison with previous data collected? on the other hand if those are not adjusted to current patterns, why keep using it? So in my opinion, the set could be updated with some newer pictures. Saying that, i must say that i don't know if those colleagues at U.Florida at the National Institute of Mental Health have added any new pictures to IAPS collection.
