Download or read book Handbook of Psychophysiology written by John T. Cacioppo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 759 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Psychophysiology has been the authoritative resource for more than a quarter of a century. Since the third edition was published a decade ago, the field of psychophysiological science has seen significant advances, both in traditional measures such as electroencephalography, event-related brain potentials, and cardiovascular assessments, and in novel approaches and methods in behavioural epigenetics, neuroimaging, psychoneuroimmunology, psychoneuroendocrinology, neuropsychology, behavioural genetics, connectivity analyses, and non-contact sensors. At the same time, a thoroughgoing interdisciplinary focus has emerged as essential to scientific progress. Emphasizing the need for multiple measures, careful experimental design, and logical inference, the fourth edition of the Handbook provides updated and expanded coverage of approaches, methods, and analyses in the field. With state-of-the-art reviews of research in topical areas such as stress, emotion, development, language, psychopathology, and behavioural medicine, the Handbook remains the essential reference for students and scientists in the behavioural, cognitive, and biological sciences.

Download or read book The Psychophysiology of Sex written by Erick Janssen and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-27 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although sexual psychophysiology has made great strides over the past few decades, the progress made has not been accompanied by much effort to integrate research findings or to stimulate methodological and theoretical discussions among researchers. Yet this new research area has the potential to make substantial contributions to understanding a wide range of phenomena, including the spread of HIV/STIs, sexual "addiction" or compulsivity, the use (or nonuse) of birth-control methods, sexual infidelity, and aggressive sexual behaviors. Psychophysiological methods can assist in the exploration of the underlying psychological, physiological, and affective processes, and, perhaps more importantly, how they interact. In this volume, editor Erick Janssen brings together wide-ranging essays written by an authoritative group of researchers, representing the cutting edge of sexual psychophysiology.
Download or read book Psychophysiology written by Kenneth Hugdahl and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our high-speed culture, terms like "stressed-out," "Type-A personality," "biofeedback," and "relaxation response" have become commonplaces. More than ever before, we are aware of the relationship between our mental and emotional states and our physical well-being. Findings from the field of psychophysiology, which investigates the reflexive interaction between psychology and physiology, have revised our approach to illness and its prevention and treatment. We know, for example, that stress, combined with other factors, increases vulnerability to heart attack and stroke. Successful treatment must include lifestyle changes to reduce the effects of stress on the body. In this important text, Kenneth Hugdahl presents a comprehensive introduction to the history, methods, and applications of psychophysiology and explores other areas concerned with the "mind-body interface," such as psychosomatic medicine, behavioral medicine, clinical psychology, psychiatry, neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience. By showing how social, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional events are mirrored in physiological processes, he gives us a clearer understanding of complex cognitive processes. This book illustrates psychophysiology's importance as a research and clinical tool and highlights its many contributions to the assessment and diagnosis of physical disorders. It also provides a framework for extending psychophysiological insights to other areas of psychology and neuroscience.

Download or read book Psychophysiological Measurement and Meaning written by Robert F. Potter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research volume serves as a comprehensive resource for psychophysiological research on media responses. It addresses the theoretical underpinnings, methodological techniques, and most recent research in this area. It goes beyond current volumes by placing the research techniques within a context of communication processes and effects as a field, and demonstrating how the real-time measurement of physiological responses enhances and complements more traditional measures of psychological effects from media. This volume introduces readers to the theoretical assumptions of psychophysiology as well as the operational details of collecting psychophysiological data. In addition to discussing specific measures, it includes brief reviews of recent experiments that have used psychophysiological measures to study how the brain processes media. It will serve as a valuable reference for media researchers utilizing these methodologies, or for other researchers needing to understand the theories, history, and methods of psychophysiological research.

Rae Tattenbaum, Performance Coach at Inner Act, Guest Editor, Special Editions of “Biofeedback” devoted to peak performance, AAPB former chair optimal performance Many practitioners use biofeedback (BFB) and neurofeedback (NFB) to help individuals bring their personal goals of optimizing performance in domains such as music, dance, sports, and exercise within reach. Written by veterans in the field, Case Studies in Applied Psychophysiology is the first text to present case studies from practitioners utilizing these techniques. Each case study has been systematically recorded and presents readers with a comprehensive overview of each approach. The case studies demonstrate not only the variety of approaches available to practitioners, but also the unique tailoring of techniques and procedures that seasoned practitioners implement to help clients achieve their goals. The primary focus is on individuals from non-clinical (i.e. not medically related) populations, but two case studies describe neurofeedback interventions with individuals suffering from traumatic brain injuries. Case Studies in Applied Psychophysiology is a useful introduction to the field, as well as a road map for those looking to incorporate these techniques into their own psychology, sports medicine, physiology, performance psychology, and counseling practices.

Download or read book Neurophysiology and Psychophysiology written by G. C. Galbraith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1988, in several respects this book is a tribute to the outstanding career of the late Donald B. Lindsley (1907-2003) who, over a span of more than 55 years, had contributed greatly to the development of research in the fields of neurophysiology, psychophysiology, and experimental psychology. The impetus for the book was a conference held at UCLA to honor Professor Lindsley for his numerous and significant contributions to psychology. The chapters of this book have been written by Professor Lindsley’s colleagues and co-workers, and by former students and postdoctoral fellows. The introductory chapter, written by Lindsley himself, tells of 2000 years of "pondering". The chapter is a discussion of the lengthy history of neurophysiology, psychophysiology, and behaviour. Many of the topics mentioned in this chapter are subsequently presented in the book as reports of ongoing research in the field.
Download or read book Applied Psychophysiological Research written by Richard A. Sherman, Ph.D. and published by Advance Educational Institute and Research Center (AEIRC). This book was released on 2022-12-31 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a manual on how to do applied psychophysiological research and why. It is timely and necessary. Timely because applied psychophysiology has come to the attention of providers and the public who would like to benefit from the applications. In medicine many current publications address translational research. Applied psychophysiology is translational research in the area of psychophysiology. It is necessary because the validity of many claims of benefits for technologies and procedures are limited to testimonials and poorly designed research. It is necessary because there are few resources to specifically guide a researcher who undertakes applied psychophysiology. The goals of applied psychophysiology such as producing a useful effect are much different than the goals of basic research which are focused on validating a theoretical model. Different tools are required to attain those goals. Dr. Sherman is a seasoned psychophysiologist with extensive publications in basic and applied research. He has been a leader in professional societies fostering applied psychophysiology and he has refined the teachability of this material through years of teaching students in a graduate program of applied psychophysiology. It begins immediately with cardinal rules for establishing credibility when you are preparing a clinical presentation or attending to a clinical presentation. The rest of the book details how to address those rules. An introduction orients the reader to the purpose, needed statistical software, definitions of applied psychophysiology, the rationale of the discipline and a discussion of the scientific method. The content is then presented in five sections covering: A) The need to know what you are doing—from inspiration through protocol development, research ethics and protocol approval process, B) Basic study structures such as research designs appropriate for office or clinical environments, C) Establishing credibility of data and psychophysiological publications, D) Statistics for evaluating and interpreting psychophysiological data, and E) Synthesizing these elements so that write-ups and presentations use appropriate research designs and statistics, provide an adequate basis to secure any needed grants and provide credible evidence to the professional community. Additional sections F through J provide helps in the form of a glossary, sample protocols that exemplify good and bad models, recommendations for further readings and references. This book would work well for graduate students in applied psychophysiology, as it takes one through a carefully laid out series of steps from the beginning of inspiration through completed investigation and publication. It is an important resource for anyone reading or producing applied psychophysiology research because most training in research methods do not clearly address applied research.
Download or read book Engineering Psychophysiology written by Wolf Boucsein and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-04-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume promotes engineering psychophysiology as a discipline and demonstrates its value to a new audience who we hope will consist of ergonomists, human factors psychologists, and engineers. The editors use a broad definition of what constitutes engineering, including all aspects of the fields known as human engineering, industrial engineering, and safety and systems engineering. The two goals for the volume are reflected in the subtitle. The Issues section introduces the components critical for the successful application of psychophysiological methods to problems in engineering. The chapters are intended to provide an introduction for the reader who is unfamiliar with psychophysiology and to provide the newcomer to the discipline with an overview of the basic theoretical, measurement, instrumentation, and experimental design questions inherent in the use of psychophysiological methods. The Applications section illustrates the many ways that psychophysiological methods are already being used in engineering applications. A broad definition of application is used to include laboratory and simulation research, as well as field studies, and all of the chapters address questions that are relevant for applying psychophysiological methods in the field. The editor's intent is to stimulate investigators to use these methods in new problem areas; therefore, the content of the chapters varies widely, from reviewing specific psychophysiological measures to reviewing work performed on specific engineering problems.
