Book SynopsisThis important text presents a comprehensive introduction to the history, methods, and applications of psychophysiology and explores other areas concerned with the "mind-body interface," such as psychosomatic medicine, behavioral medicine, clinical psychology, psychiatry, neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience.
Trade ReviewThe book has many strengths. Nonspecialists in psychophysiology will appreciate the book for its broad perspective; for the way in which it presents various psychophysiological theories, models, and methods in a comprehensive but brief manner; and for the captivating style of Hugdahl's discourse ...Hugdahl's mission of advocating the need for psychophysiology to step forward into the arena of cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology is timely and well-fulfilled. -- Daniel Tranel and Antoine Bechara * Contemporary Psychology *
