Psychophysiology Resources
On this page, I have collected a few of my go-to resources on collection, cleaning, scoring, and analyzing psychophysiology data. This page is ever-evolving so if there's something you have a question about and/or a resource you think I've missed, send me a message!

​
Introductions and Guidelines
1. The Society for Psychophysiological Research maintains a list of both resources and guidelines papers that are incredibly useful.
​
2. The Handbook of Psychophysiology is an invaluable reference. The cardiac chapter from the Second edition is one of my personal favorites.
​
3. Further (required) reading on cardiac physiology: Berntson, Cacioppo, & Quigley, 1993
​
4. Methodological recommendations for the heartbeat detection method of assessing interoceptive sensitivity.
​
5. There are many indices of HRV and, depending on your study design, some may be more appropriate than others. Allen, Chambers, & Towers, 2007 is a very useful paper that directly compares indices of HRV.

Scoring Physio Data Using Mindware
Mindware has put together several excellent videos on how to use their software. I have embedded a couple here but there are many more where this came from. I highly recommend watching them before you begin scoring data and then using them as a reference forever.
