Psychophysiology Methods

This volume looks at the latest advancements used by researchers to study psychophysiology and cognitive neurosciences. The chapters in this book cover topics such as classical event-related brain responses (P300, MMN, and CNV); anatomical structures and physiological mechanisms underlying the capability of feeling pain and smelling; magnetoencephalography (MEG); and brain-computer interface techniques using electrical activity generated by the brain. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory.

Cutting-edge and practical, Psychophysiology Methods is a valuable resource for researchers who want to learn more about the use of psychophysiological techniques in the investigation of human cognition, and increase interest in the clinical puzzle of neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results Contains key notes and implementation advice from the experts
