Handbook of Psychophysiology (Cambridge Handbooks in Psychology)

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. frontmatter Contents Figures Plates Tables Contributors FOUNDATIONS 1 Strong Inference in Psychophysiological Science 2 A Neuroscience Framework for Psychophysiology 3 Neuropsychology 4 Fundamentals of Functional Neuroimaging 5 Electroencephalography and Event-Related Brain Potentials 6 High-Performance Electrophysiological Microsegmentation and Brain Source Localization 7 Application of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation in Psychophysiology 8 The Somatic System 9 Cardiovascular Psychophysiology 10 The Electrodermal System 11 The Respiratory System 12 Gastrointestinal System 13 Sexual Response 14 Ambulatory and Non-Contact Recording Methods 15 Behavior Genetics: From Heritability to Gene Finding 16 Functional Genomic Approaches to Psychophysiology 17 Psychoneuroimmunology 18 From Homeostasis to Allodynamic Regulation 19 The Interoceptive System 20 Emotion 21 Stress Hormones in Psychophysiological Research 22 Developmental Processes 23 Language 24 Behavioral Medicine and Psychophysiology 25 Psychophysiology in Pursuit of Psychopathology 26 Detection of Deception 27 Methodology 28 Psychometrics 29 Biosignal Processing in Psychophysiology 30 Multilevel Modeling 31 Visualizing Scientific Data Index plate-section The Handbook of Psychophysiology has been the authoritative resource for more than a quarter of a century.

"The first Handbook of Psychophysiology was published more than four decades ago (Greenfield & Sternbach, 1972). Coverage in that Handbook emphasized the peripheral nervous system, an emphasis that many still identify with the term psychophysiology in accord with the history of psychophysiology"-- Provided by publisher
