Psychophysiology
Psychophysiology studies interactions between the mind and body by recording how the body is functioning and relating the functions recorded to behavior. Changes in the body’s functioning cause changes in behavior and vice versa. Psychophysiological recording techniques are generally non-invasive. That is, they record from the body’s surface and nothing goes into the person being recorded. Psychophysiological recordings are frequently used to help assess problems with how the body is functioning. As a psychophysiologist, I frequently use biofeedback as a way to measure and show you how your body and mind are functioning as a result of daily life and cognitive impairments, such as suffering from a concussion or stress.
The disorders most commonly assessed using psychophysiological recording techniques and treated using biofeedback based interventions which have been shown to be reasonably efficacious through research studies include:
