Synopses & Reviews
Despite important developments in psychophysiology no single book has reviewed the subject at a level that is informative to the specialist yet accessible to the interested nonspecialist. Principles of Psychophysiology is designed to fill this gap. Leading scientists review the foundations and recent advances in our understanding of psychophysiological responses and recording techniques - electrodermal, electromyographic, electrocortical, event-related brain potential, cardiovascular, electro-ocular, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and sexual, and examine the applications of this behaviour. The editors provide a comprehensive overview of fundamental issues involved in inferring psychological processes and states from physiological data. They review neurophysiological, psychoneuroendocrinological, and psychoneuroimmunological foundations of psychophysiology, and psychophysiological concepts and principles. Finally, they offer detailed tutorials on each psychophysiological system and response, and assess general analytic procedures across systems. A wide range of behavioural scientists, specialists in behavioural medicine and their students will find this an indispensable sourcebook and guide.
Review
"...a singular work...it's primary use is as a reference work. Each chapter provides good background material for the topic covered. Picking the Handbook of Psychophysiology off the shelf would be much more convenient than searching for review articles. This book would be best suted for use in a medical school library or other medical research institution." E-Streams"Remarkably consistent...a valuable resource." American Scientist"Brilliantly planned and beautifully executed...without peer." Contemporary Psychology"Clearly, this book is destined to become a classic in the field and it will sit on my shelf. Both the chapter topics and the contributors are very well chosen. There is very little to compare it to in the field." Doody's Review Service G

Synopsis
The revised and expanded second edition of Handbook of Psychophysiology provides systematic coverage of research on the biological bases of cognition, emotion, and behavior. Psychophysiological methods, paradigms, and theories offer entry to a biological cosmos that does not stop at skinâs edge. This essential reference is designed as a roadmap for the explorer of this cosmos. Theoretical advances, empirical findings, and methodological developments and standards are discussed with respect to fundamental psychological processes at a level accessible to students, researchers, and professionals in psychophysiology, psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, and related biological and behavioral sciences.
Synopsis
The first review of the subject at a level both informative for the specialist and accessible for the nonspecialist.
