  1. Note. The experience scale goes from 0 (no emotion) to +100 (very negative). Expressivity is expressed as percentage of baseline level. All other parameters are differences from baseline level. HR = Heart Rate, SCL = Skin Conductance Level, FT = Finger Temperature, FP = Finger Pulse Composite, RR = Respiratory Rate, RA = Respiratory Amplitude.
