Investigation of human sexual response using a cassette recorder. 1977

P M Sarrel, and J Foddy, and J B McKinnon

A cassette recorder (Medilog miniature analogue tape recorder) initially developed for prolonged recording of ECG and EEG has been adapted for monitoring physiological change during sexual response. The recorder is small, portable, and reliable. Recording can be done by the subject in private. By avoiding the problem of invasion of privacy, it may prove practical to obtain data from patients when information about their ability to cope with the stress of sex response is neeeded for medical counseling. Additionally, a larger population than would ordinarily be available for sex research may become available for study. Tracings from a recording of EEG, ECG, and vaginal photoplethysmography during sex response are presented.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010991 Plethysmography Recording of change in the size of a part as modified by the circulation in it. Plethysmographies
D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
