However, analysis of EDA is hampered by its sensitivity to motion artifacts. We propose a method for removing motion artifacts from EDA, measured as skin conductance (SC), using a stationary wavelet transform (SWT). We modeled the wavelet coefficients as a Gaussian mixture distribution corresponding to the underlying skin conductance level (SCL) and skin conductance responses (SCRs). The goodness-of-fit of the model was validated on ambulatory SC data. We evaluated the proposed method in comparison with three previous approaches. Our method achieved a greater reduction of artifacts while retaining motion-artifact-free data.}, language = {English}, booktitle = {Proceedings {International} {Conference} of the {IEEE} {Engineering} in {Medicine} and {Biology} {Society}}, author = {Chen, Weixuan and Jaques, Natasha and Taylor, Sara and Sano, Akane and Fedor, Szymon and Picard, Rosalind W.}, month = aug, year = {2015}, keywords = {E4, Q sensor} }
