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.
