What is the study of psychophysiology?
Psychophysiology is the study of the relationship between physiological signals recorded from the body and brain to mental processes and disorders. 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. PET and fMRI are the latest techniques used in psychophysiological assessment. Identification of the brain areas involved in the psychological functions activated by the task requires application of the subtraction method.

What is the difference between physiological psychology and psychophysiology?
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. Why should we engage in psychophysiological research? Psychophysiological methods are tools for capturing and untangling the mind–body interactions that are the causes and effects of the phenomena that media psychology strives to explain.
What is the goal of psychophysiology?
The general goal of psychophysiology is to describe the mechanisms which translate between psychological and physiological systems of the organism. These are biological, psychodynamic, behavioural, cognitive and humanistic. Each approach attempts to explain human behaviour differently. According to the classes of organisms, the field can be divided into medical physiology, animal physiology, plant physiology, cell physiology, and comparative physiology.
