This dataset includes skin conductance response (SCR) measurements for each of 42 healthy unmedicated participants (21 males and 21 females aged 25.2 +/- 4.0 years) in response to 38 face photographs (modified from the Karolinska Directed Emotional Faces set, KDEF), each presented once with angry, neutral, and fearful expression for 1 s each. Meanwhile, participants were listening to regular or random distractor sounds, as described in Bach et al. (2015). ITI was selected randomly on each trial from 7.5 s, 9.0 s, or 10.5 s (misprinted in the publications), plus a variable delay of around 0.1 s for image loading. 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 SCR recordings.
