Handbook of Psychophysiology

by John T. Cacioppo (Editor), Louis G. Tassinary (Editor), Gary Berntson (Editor)

Overview

The Handbook of Psychophysiology, 3rd Edition is an essential reference for students, researchers, and professionals in the behavioral, cognitive, and biological sciences. Psychophysiological methods, paradigms, and theories offer entry to a biological cosmos that does not stop at skin's edge, and this essential reference is designed as a road map for explorers of this cosmos. The scope and coverage in the Handbook have expanded to include both a context for and coverage of the biological bases of cognitive, affective, social, and developmental processes and behavior. In addition to updated coverage of the traditional areas of psychophysiology, coverage of the brain and central nervous system has been expanded to include functional neuroimaging, event related brain potentials, electrophysiological source dipole localization, lesion methods, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. It also includes a section on cellular and humoral systems with attention to the communication across and interactions among cellular, immunological, endocrinological, and neural processes.

Louis G. Tassinary is a Professor of Visualization, Executive Associate Dean in the College of Architecture and member of the Interdisciplinary Faculty of Neuroscience at Texas A & M University. He has published in a wide variety of journals including Psychological Science, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Preservation Law and Research, and Environment and Behavior. He is a recipient of a National Science Foundation Presidential Faculty Fellowship and the Kadel Medal for Career Achievement, and a former secretary of the Society for Psychophysiological Research.

Gary G. Berntson is an Emeritus Academy Professor of Psychology at the Ohio State University. He has published over 200 peer-reviewed articles and has edited several books. He has served on numerous federal advisory committees (National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation, as well as the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defence). He has served as a Board member, Secretary and then President of the Society for Psychophysiological Research. He was the recipient of Distinguished Teaching and Distinguished Scholar awards from the Ohio State University, and received the Paul D. MacLean Award for Outstanding Research in Neuroscience from the American Psychosomatic Society in 2013.

Editorial Reviews

This is a comprehensive, if not exhaustive, review of psychophysiology. It is a revised, expanded, and much improved version of Principles of Psychophysiology edited by two of the three editors of this text. The purpose is to provide an overview of the field of psychophysiology, including a consideration of the theoretical and even philosophical foundations of modern psychophysiology. The inclusion of chapters concerning relatively new but highly promising approaches including brain-imaging technologies is also of great significance. I am sure that most researchers and teachers of psychophysiology will want a copy. Other psychologists interested in this area will find it highly informative. This book would be an excellent text for graduate classes in psychophysiology. However, I think that some of the chapters may be too advanced for undergraduate classes to use, at least as their primary textbook. It may be of interest to neuroscience researchers outside of ""mainstream"" psychophysiology who are doing human research. As indicated above, this is a highly comprehensive overview of a complex and diverse area of study. The text could be read in its entirety, or chapters may be read selectively by individuals with more defined interests. Each chapter stands alone as a comprehensive review of its topic. 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.

Robert M. Carney

"The much-anticipated update to this authoritative handbook provides the comprehensive coverage we've come to expect from the trio of Cacioppo, Tassinary, and Berntson and the impressive roster of world-renowned contributors they've assembled. With pragmatic, conceptual, and cutting-edge coverage of a wide range of approaches, methods, and applications, the fourth edition of the Handbook of Psychophysiology will inspire and inform research across a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines."
John J. B. Allen, University of Arizona

"Expect more than a textbook. In addition to an exhaustive overview of psychophysiological topics, you will find here a thorough review of the theoretical foundations of the field. Exceptionally insightful methodological chapters are authored by leading scholars, including some of the true founding fathers of this vast research area. Highly recommended." Stefano F. Cappa, Institute for Advanced Studies (IUSS), Pavia
