Abstract
Measurements were made of the large variations in apparent electrical resistance of the skin of fifteen newborn infants. Readings were taken every five minutes over two hour periods using a unidirectional current technique. The purpose of the experiment was to check Richter's hypothesis that increases in palmar resistance afford an objective criterion of sleep.
