Psychophysiology

Overview

Psychophysiology is the scientific study of the relationships between psychological processes and physiological responses, examining how mental states, behaviors, and neurological functions interact within the human body. Research published in Human Psychology on this topic addresses several distinct areas of psychophysiological investigation. One focus involves neurofeedback interventions, specifically examining frequency-based approaches for autism spectrum disorder and evaluating their therapeutic efficacy and future research directions. Another area explores the neurophysiological basis of sensory processing through investigation of brainstem auditory evoked potentials, reinterpreting the electrical generation mechanisms underlying these neural responses to auditory stimuli. Additionally, the journal has published work examining extreme altered states of consciousness, particularly investigating the potential role of elevated carbon dioxide levels in the brain during near-death experiences. These investigations matter because they advance understanding of the measurable biological mechanisms underlying psychological phenomena, from developmental disorders to sensory perception to consciousness itself. By bridging psychological and physiological domains, this research contributes to more comprehensive models of human experience and may inform clinical interventions that target the physiological substrates of psychological conditions.
