  Psychophysiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psychophysiology is the science of understanding the link between psychology and physiology.
For example, psychologists are interested in why we may fear spiders and physiologists may be interested in the input/output system of the amygdala.
Psychophysiology is different from physiological psychology in that psychophysiology looks at the way psychological activities produce physiological responses, while physiological psychology looks at the physiological mechanisms which lead to psychological activity.

At the 7th International Scientific Meeting of the International Organization of Psychophysiology (IOP), held in Greece in September-October 1994, I was appointed to the Chair of the Ethics Committee of the IOP.
If psychophysiology is conceived as the study of psychological processes by means of observing subtle changes in physiological functions (see [1]; for a different view, see [2]), then the psychophysiological study of deception involves an experimental isolation of the phenomenon.
More generally, it is experimental psychophysiology that should be foremost in the investigation of both the detection and differentiation of deception.

 Biofeedback Continued - Association For Applied Psychophysiology & Biofeedback
The word 'biofeedback' was coined in the late 1969 to describe laboratory procedures (developed in the 1940's) that trained research subjects to alter brain activity, blood pressure, muscle tension, heart rate and other bodily functions that are not normally controlled voluntarily.
Psychophysiology is the field which studies the relationship between mental activity and physical funtions - in other words, investigates the mind-body connection in a scientific way.
For example, psychophysiologists do research to find new ways to teach people better ways to learn to control body functions which may be causing health problems, and they also study ways to predict and prevent stress-related health problems of individuals.

 Authors Guidelines
Psychophysiology publishes original, full-length articles in any area of psychophysiological research: theoretical papers, experimental studies, evaluative reviews of literature, and methodological developments (e.g., experimental procedures, statistical analysis, instrumentation, and computer techniques).
The Huynh–Feldt, Geisser–Greenhouse, or similar correction should be undertaken for univariate repeated-measures ANOVA tests involving more than one degree of freedom, in which case the uncorrected degrees of freedom, the corrected p value, and the epsilon value should be reported.
In addition, we ask that authors explicitly mention how they deal with validity assumptions when group sizes are unequal with regard to omnibus and sub-effect hypotheses (i.e., main and interaction effect tests, simple-effect tests, and multiple-comparison tests).

However, given the nature of the data to be expected from continuous viewing experiences it would seem sensible to consider both attention and affect when looking at the psychophysiology of presence.
All these issues must be examined if psychophysiology is to be proposed as a continuous measure of presence.
Depending on the utility of the methods, the results of early research may be applied to studies of memory and attention.
