Mind and Body: Signals to Enhance Your Psychophysiology Research
The human body and mind share an intrinsic link, both influencing and reflecting the health and general well-being of the other. Within the field of psychophysiology, researchers gain a wealth of insight into mental processes and disorders by studying physiological...
The Year in Review: Top Physiology and Neuroscience Research Stories 2022
Another calendar year has come and gone. COVID-19 remains a reality, but we continue to adapt to the ongoing pandemic and find new ways to overcome the challenges it poses at work, at school, at home, and in the lab. And speaking of research, 2022 proved to be a...
Human Factors: Physiological Signals Enhance Ergonomics Research
Ergonomics plays a role in almost every aspect of human interaction with the world around us—how we work, entertain ourselves, rest, and relax. Simply put, ergonomics (sometimes termed “human factors and ergonomics” or simply “human factors”) refers to the way in...
Evoked Potentials: Low-amplitude Signals for High-value Data
Researchers studying the nervous system have a host of physiological signals at their disposal to provide critical data on neurological function. Various signals present advantages and disadvantages, depending on the demands of the research being conducted. Evoked...
Workflow: Research Smarter with Automated Routines
You have probably heard the saying “why work harder when you can work smarter?” While this may seem like a cliché, there is no denying that smart work, or what might be more accurately termed “efficient effort,” not only alleviates worker stress but in doing so...
