When respondents’ skin conductance response and heart rate are measured, the main process focuses not only on the subtle response but rather on the interaction between the person and their environment and information that sheds some light on the human mind processes. Some researchers have started working on ways of integrating physical phenomena to response in physiological processes, such concept includes integrating state-space models to interpret physiological control systems that represent the mechanism of psycho-physiological processes. This paper presents a customised measure by applying state-space models in the prediction of physiological processes and a standard way of interpreting response potentials. Three different state-space models were used and the performance for each model is compared, the result shows that the fourth identified space model (N4SID) is most probable in interpreting physiological response with a performance of 98% focus. This
would help in dealing with the choice of the development of physiological control systems in the design of psycho-physiological mechanisms in robotics.
