AcuSETSM
When a patient is tested by the computerized electrodermal screening for the AcuSET protocol equipment, he or she holds a moistened brass rod in one hand while the technician touches an acupuncture point with a probe connected to the machine.
This action creates a circuit with a very small, unfelt current running through the patient.
The amount of resistance experienced at that point or the amount of current flowing (conductance) can be measured. The patient feels nothing more than a little pressure.
The test can be stopped at any time if it's uncomfortable, but this rarely happens.
