- So he hooks up his polygraph with like a GSR or the galvanic skin response thing that measures moisture, right?
Examples
-
I think that galvanic corrosion requires an electrolyte, so it would be important not to have moisture at the interface; but otherwise, it seems it should work.

Morphology
galvanic = galvanism (transparent) = galvan + ic
Formed by the adjective-forming suffix '-ic' on the noun 'galvanism', so 'relating to galvanism' (electricity by chemical action) is directly predictable.
Etymology
Galvanic comes from the name of the Italian scientist Galvani, who showed that chemical action can make electricity when he worked with frog legs. So a galvanic cell or reaction is one that 'produces electricity by chemical action', like a simple battery.
