The the human body undergoes a suite of physiological changes during stress,
including changes in blood flow. These changes in blood flow may be detectable
using new thermal imaging techniques. The present study was designed to
determine the time-course and topography of temperature changes in the face during
the experience of a psychosocial stressor. Our results suggest that thermography
may offer a non-invasive method for assessing arousal. This study is an important
first step in assessing the sensitivity of this technology to various affective states.
Additional research measuring different emotions is needed to determine the
applicability of this technology in the public sector.
