I would like to measure the arousal of children who are taking an EDA test. Starting in the morning all the way to them taking the test and then afterwards. I'd expect to see the children get quite excited just by the novel environment and the requirements placed on them by scientists. This is especially true for children with SPD and Autism.

My anxiety about my anxiety
I'm discouraged by the way we measure EDA as a single point response to a stimuli. So many factors can play into our current anxiety and to assume people are in "baseline" is very strange for me. What does it mean to be at baseline on a continuous spectrum. This would be like measuring our happiness but waiting for us to be "neutral", neither happy or sad. Is that possible? How does one detect that state?

Snoring Adherence
There is a gas mask that helps people get a better nights sleep (and not store). The biggest medical challenge to its effectiveness is the low adherence rates. Go figure! How would I know I'm not snoring??? How do I know I get a good nights sleep?
A fun solution to this problem could be to record a persons snoring for the night. :You could have fun with what you do with that information. You could play it back to them during the day on their ipod. You could present the data to them in the morning. You could even make a video game that gives you bonuses for snoring.
