I want to create a product with Intel Edison (because of its size) that feature sensors like Skin conductance, Body temperature and Heart Rate, Accelerometer. I know that I’ll probably need I2C, ANALOG, I2C, I2C ports. Any idea on how can attach these sensors using sparkfun products? I’d also appreciate “out of the box” idea to make this work.
This is a project of “data is not information” - by the thread’s title.
Seems obvious to me: stack multiple modules on it

And since you seem to be a starter:

(the latter will not contain many of your intended sensors, but should get you introduced in hooking up basic electronics to the Edison. If you had mentioned a specific sensor in mind then a more precise answer could have been given.)
I think what Stevech is trying to say is that those kind of sensors probably will not allow you to clearly diagnose what the subject person is feeling inside his mind. Even sensing brainwave patterns will not get you much of that. If you do register something with your intended sensors then it could be that the person is under the influence of the love-bug syndrome. (as an example) Or aggressive rage. But just as likely be suffering from a sickness which has fever symptoms. The data that you measure does not say what is going on in the person. But who knows, you may be a psychology Wizz-kid that knows the missing link between mind and matter. By all means, experiment!
That said, this may be a case of translation error. As in my own language (dutch) “feelings” could also be translated to one’s bodily senses like touch/vibration/heat-sensing of the skin.
