Psychophysiology

Overview

Psychophysiology is the scientific study of the relationships between physiological processes and psychological states, examining how bodily systems reflect and influence mental activity, behavior, and experience. Research published in Psychophysiology Practice and Research addresses diverse aspects of this field, from clinical applications to fundamental questions about brain function. The journal has explored neurofeedback interventions targeting frequency-based brain activity patterns in autism spectrum disorder, examining both therapeutic efficacy and future research directions in this clinical domain. Investigations into the brainstem auditory evoked potential have reexamined the neural origins of this electrophysiological response, contributing to refined understanding of how the brain processes auditory information. The journal has also published work on altered states of consciousness, specifically investigating the potential role of elevated carbon dioxide levels in the brain during near-death experiences, a phenomenon at the intersection of neurophysiology and subjective experience. These studies reflect the breadth of psychophysiology as a discipline, spanning clinical intervention development, basic neurophysiological mechanisms, and the physiological substrates of complex psychological phenomena. This research matters because it bridges mind and body, offering measurable biological markers for psychological processes and informing evidence-based approaches to understanding and treating neurological and psychological conditions.
