This dataset includes skin conductance response (SCR) and pulse time stamp (HB) measurements for each of 60 healthy unmedicated participants (30 males and 30 females aged 23.7 +/- 4.8 years) in response to the 45 most arousing negative, and 45 least arousing neutral IAPS pictures, each presented for 1 s each, while listening to regular or random distractor sounds, as described in Bach et al. (2015). ITI was selected randomly on each trial from 7.65 s, 9 s, or 10.35 s. The experiment was preceded by a 2-minute resting period and divided into 3 blocks, separated by resting periods. Each resting period begins and ends with an event marker in the psychophysiological recordings.
