Download or read book The Psychophysiology of Thinking written by F Mcguigan and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Psychophysiology of Thinking: Studies of Covert Processes describes the relation between brain events and peripheral bodily phenomena in the context of psychological theory. This book is organized into six parts encompassing 14 chapters, which focus on higher mental processes. This book starts with the historical development of electrical measures of covert processes. The subsequent chapters discuss the mechanism of conditioning of central nervous system, the skeletal musculature, and the autonomic activity. Other chapters explore the principles of hallucinations, sleep and dreaming, imagery, biofeedback, evoked potentials during thought, meaning, and thought with concomitant measures. The remaining chapters emphasize cerebral mechanisms, which principal concern is with the involvement of other bodily mechanisms in thought. Psychophysiologists, neurobiologists, behaviorists, and researchers in the fields of thinking and covert processes will find this book invaluable.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychophysiology: Today and Tomorrow focuses on the most important theoretical aspects and practical outlets of the problem, as well as the main potentialities and interests of psychophysiology. Organized into 23 chapters, this book begins with the identification of component systems for syntax, verbal memory, focusing attention, and a system common to sequencing motor movements and phonemic discrimination. Subsequent chapter elucidates neurophysiological correlates of mental processes in man. Other chapters explore relations between electrical brain rhythms and behavior; brain exploration in ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1907, this book explores the distinction between mind and matter. Although Alfred Binet is best known for his contributions to the study of intelligence he had other extensive research interests and published widely in many areas of psychology. This reissue is an opportunity to explore some of that work, which includes consciousness and cognition as well as definitions of psychology.
Download or read book The Physiology of Cognitive Processes written by Andrew J. Parker and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2003 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to understand how brains carry out perceptual and cognitive processes, we need co-ordinated investigations of these tasks at three levels. In addition to studying the cognitive processes of the whole organism, we need to investigate the contributions of specific brain regions and small groups of neurons within those regions. We also need to understand how computations in distinct regions interact to produce cognition and the pathways through which these interactions take place.These questions are most productively answered by taking a multi-level approach, using a variety of experimental techniques that are themselves developing rapidly in power as research tools. About half a century ago, the first micro-electrode recordings of sensory neurons in mammalian visual cortex transformed our thinking about how the brain carries out the job of seeing the world around us. Since that time, the physiology of cognitive processes has come a long way. New techniques have been developed. Old techniques are being deployed in new ways. However, the most spectacular development has been the growth in the range of topics that are now addressed by this discipline. Recording with micro-electrodes is still centre stage. But today neurons can be studied in awake animals that are looking, learning, remembering and making decisions, and the recordings are beginning to show how these processes work. New techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain are now making it possible to study cognitive processes as they occur in the human brain. The important new book addresses a range of questions including:- Which parts of the human brain analyse colour? How do neurones enable us to decide what we are looking at? How does paying attention to a stimulus change the way neurons process it? How do neurons decide when and where to move our eyes when we are searching for something? Where in the brain are memories stored? How do neurons tell uswe have seen something before? What aspect of brain activity is recorded by a brain scanner? The underlying theme of all the papers is to understand the neuronal events and processes that are responsible for the remarkable range of cognitive tasks that can be carried out by primate brains. With contributions from world leaders in the cognitive neurosciences, this is a volume that will be essential reading for students and researchers involved in brain research.
