I knew almost nothing about psychophysiology before reading this book. I first tried to learn the topic reading "Handbook of Psychophysiology" (Cacioppo, Tassinary, & Berntson) but it's very complicated and hard to understand for beginners. When I started to read "Electrophysiological Recording", the topics that seemed so complicated in the Cacioppo et al. book started to make sense finally.

This book is a great introductory book to physio because it starts with introducing the basic concepts and things that you need to know before you can understand recording techniques in physio. In addition, the chapters that explain various recording techniques were simple and easy to understand, yet comprehensive. Only downside to the book is that it doesn't include a chapter about hormones but the writers make up for it by covering other topics very well.

In sum, I strongly recommend this book to beginners in psychophysiology.

This is a very helpful book for people new to psychophysiological recording, or who are branching out into a new area. It's appropriate for people at a variety of levels from advanced undergraduate and beyond.
