Cognitive Biases in Health and Psychiatric Disorders : Neurophysiological Foundations

__Cognitive Biases in Health and Psychiatric Disorders: Neurophysiological Foundations__ focuses on the neurophysiological basis of biases in attention, interpretation, expectancy and memory. Each chapter includes a review of each specific bias, including both positive and negative information in both healthy individuals and psychiatric populations. This book provides readers with major theories, methods used in investigating biases, brain regions associated with the related bias, and autonomic responses to specific biases. Its end goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of the neural, autonomic and cognitive mechanisms related to processing biases.

Outlines neurophysiological research on diverse types of information processing bias, including attention bias, expectancy bias, interpretation bias, and memory bias Discusses both normal and pathological forms of each cognitive biases Provides specific examples on how to translate research on cognitive biases to clinical applications Processing Biases Have Been Widely Linked As A Causal Role In The Diagnosis And Maintenance Of Different Mental Disorders, Including Anxiety And Depression. Cognitive Biases In Health And Psychiatric Disorders Focuses On Neurophysiological Basis Of Biases In Attention, Interpretation, Expectancy, And Memory. Each Chapter Includes A Review Of The Specific Bias Including Both Positive And Negative Information In Both Healthy Individuals As Well As The Psychiatric Populations. This Book Provides Readers With Major Theories, Methods Used In Investigating Biases, Brain Regions Associated With The Related Bias, And Autonomic Responses To Specific Biases. The Book Aims To Provide A Comprehensive Overview Regarding The Neural, Autonomic, And Cognitive Mechanisms Related To Processing Biases.
