Teaching Psychophysiology

This section of the SPR website is designed to facilitate the teaching of undergraduate and graduate courses in psychophysiology. This site is a work in progress by the Education and Training Committee. If you would like to submit materials to include on this site or recommendations for further useful content, please contact the chair, John Curtin (jjcurtin@wisc.edu).

Lecture Materials & Syllabi

All lecture materials are provided in a zipped archive (.zip) to facilitate download of multiple files. A free evaluation version of Winzip is available to access the files in these archives.

This section will include full citations for texts that are in use for the teaching of psychophysiology. In addition, it will include other helpful texts (such as texts on electricity and electronics).

Methods papers

This section will include papers that have been critical in establishing the construct validity of various psychophysiological measures.

Application papers

This section will include papers that represent interesting applications of psychophysiological measures that advanced fields or tested questions that were difficult to test with other methods/measures.
