The present invention relates to a dry skin conductance electrode (12 13) for contacting the skin (10) of a user. In order to provide a dry skin conductance electrode for long term measurements which does not cause problems to the user while still providing a good signal level the electrode (12 13) comprises a material made of a noble metal doped with at least one dopant selected from the group consisting of hydrogen lithium sodium potassium rubidium caesium and beryllium. The present invention also relates to a skin conductance sensor (20) a wristband (30) and an emotional event detection system.
