Abstract
Basal resistance-level (BRL) has recently been gaining support as a motivational measure fully as promising as the more traditional galvanic skin-response (GSR).1 A device capable of the simultaneous recording of both these variables is thus of some interest. A further recent development is a technique for recording BRL in unrestrained rats.2 These varied possibilities have led to the development of a versatile device capable of recording the resistance-level of humans as well as that of rats at a wide variety of different sensitivities.
