Psychophysiology: relationships between psychological and physiological processes

The aim of the course is to provide a deeper understanding of psychophysiology and its focus on understanding the relationship between psychological and physiological processes.

Psychophysiology examines the physiological correlates of human experience and behaviour. Physiological measures are used to further our understanding of psychological processes and to test psychological theories.

The course will cover measures that are typically used and accessible in psychology.
