From: Psychological and physiological evidence for an initial ‘Rough Sketch’ calculation of personal space
Average skin conductance responses across a range of distances, normalized to individual personal space size. The top panels show the average time courses of skin conductance levels measured in response to humans (panel a) and to avatars (panel b), when presented at different percentages of each subject’s personal space size. The bottom panels show the average peak skin conductance response amplitudes (‘arousal level’) across five percentages of personal space size (x axis), for humans (solid line) and avatars (dotted line), plotted on a linear axis (panel c) and on a logarithmic axis (panel d).
