Eight subjects each spent 2 nights in the sleep laboratory during which electrodermal activity (EDA) was recorded in addition to standard sleep monitoring. On the experimental night, following an adaptation night, subjects were awakened four times from REM sleep: in the presence of phasic EDA and eye movements; in the presence of phasic EDA without eye movements; in the presence of eye movements without phasic EDA; and in the absence of both eye movements and phasic EDA. Detailed mentation reports were obtained, coded, and rated on scales of emotionality and bizarreness. EDA was found to be associated with bizarre mentation. Implications for the study of nocturnal phasic activity in general and for the study of EDA are discussed. An improved circuit for the long-term recording of EDA is described in sufficient detail to allow its duplication.
八名受试者每人在睡眠实验室度过两个晚上，在此期间，除了进行标准睡眠监测外，还记录了皮肤电活动（EDA）。在实验当晚，经过适应夜后，受试者从快速眼动睡眠中被唤醒四次：分别是在伴有相位性EDA和眼球运动时；伴有相位性EDA但无眼球运动时；伴有眼球运动但无相位性EDA时；以及既无眼球运动也无相位性EDA时。获得了详细的梦境报告，并进行编码，然后根据情感性和怪诞性量表进行评分。发现EDA与怪诞梦境有关。讨论了该研究对一般夜间相位活动研究以及对EDA研究的意义。详细描述了一种用于长期记录EDA的改进电路，以便能够复制。
