A tad of background info.
I'm creating a psychology experiment to test for anticipatory levels of behavior in aversive operant conditioning.
Since this is just for school, it is a hypothetical experiment but has to be factual, and while i know plenty about psychology, i don't know squat about electricity and what actually causes pain, etc...
Basically the experiment calls for a standard experimental chamber with its floor grid connected to a machine that delivers a set shock at a fixed-interval.
What i need to know is, what amount of voltage/amps would be sufficient to deliver a moderate amount of pain, but not be ridiculously excessive, or to weak to not elicit the proper response.
Someone in my LS mentioned that amps are what cause pain, not voltage. I don't know much about either or the contrast between the two.
I tried looking up stuff online and in wiki, but they didn't give information into actual voltage in terms that i can understand.
