In "Determinants of Emotion Duration and Underlying Psychological and Neural Mechanisms" by Verduyn et al. discuss how certain physiological signals are outlasted by actual feelings:
In particular, whereas the duration of expressive (e.g., facial expression; [1]), and (neuro)physiological components (e.g., cardiovascular recovery; [2]) seems to rarely exceed a few minutes, feelings and associated cognitions may persist for hours or longer (e.g., [3], [4]).
Is this true for all external physiological signals including Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) and Electromyography (EMG)? I would find this surprising given that there is evidence of the central nervous system being related relating physical to social pain, as shown in "Acetaminophen Reduces Social Pain: Behavioral and Neural Evidence" Dewall et al., so I would expect some external evidence of this physical pain.
