For the purposes of psychophysiological experiments that require an operant response, a push‐button switch that utilized the skin resistance of the thumb was constructed. The skin contact push‐buton (SC‐PB) produced a more negative pre‐response slow potential shift recorded at the vertex than the standard push‐button (S‐PB), using 6 subjects in a repeated measures design.
