Not so many consumer devices are available for minimally invasive monitoring of Skin Conductance (SC), differently from what happens for other physiological signals. In this paper, a low-cost monitoring system for SC signals is presented. For comparison purposes, the SC signals are simultaneously acquired by the low-cost monitoring system and by a ProComp Infiniti desk equipment. The paper shows that, despite the simpler design and hardware limitations exhibited by the low-cost system, the collected SC signals provide the same relevant information for stimulus detection of the SC signals acquired by a much more expensive acquisition board. Specifically, the comparison is fulfilled through the ability of the low-cost monitoring system in detecting the increase of both SC baseline and peaks after stimulation.
