Thick psychophysiology for empathic design
… the course of six years, I brought ambulatory psychophysiology into a variety of industries as a means of conducting design research. I looked at the stress of children in occupational therapy, the frustration of playing Hasbro board games, the thrill of driving a Google Self Driving Car, the …

The Underlying Psychophysiology of Pedophilic Disorder and the Implications for Treatment Approaches
<p>Sexual crimes are a persistent and significant social dilemma that continues to plague our society (Lee, Jackson, Pattison, & Ward,2002). Past research has made considerable advancements in terms of the types of interventions that clinicians can utilize when they work with individuals who have a …

The psychophysiology of risk processing and decision making at a regional stock exchange
A longstanding controversy in philosophy is whether decision-making is governed by reason or emotion. I study the role of physiological responses in the decision-making process within the realm of financial markets, where both the environment and decisions-trades-are measurable. In an experiment …

The Psychophysiology of Maladaptive Perfectionism and Mindfulness Meditation: An Investigation Using Heart Rate Variability
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a vagal nerve-mediated biomarker of cardiac function used to investigate chronic illness, psychopathology, stress and, more recently, attention-regulation processes such as meditation. This study investigated HRV in relation to maladaptive perfectionism (MP), a …

A Study of Methods in Computational Psychophysiology for Incorporating Implicit Affective Feedback in Intelligent Environments
Technological advancements in sensor miniaturization, processing power and faster networks has broadened the scope of our contemporary compute-infrastructure to an extent that Context-Aware Intelligent Environment (CAIE)--physical spaces with computing systems embedded in it--are increasingly …

The fascination of evil: mental malpractice in Shakespearean tragedy
… its operation within perception theory and the psychophysiology of the early modern medical understanding. It also examines some ways in which fascination operates within a theatrical context, and encounters the discourse of early modern “anti-theatricalists.” The second part of the thesis is an …

Individual Differences in Inhibitory Control Skills at Three Years of Age
… to measures of language, temperament, and psychophysiology. Tasks showed different patterns of relations to each of these variables. Furthermore, performance on the Hand Game, our measure of nonverbal IC, was explained by frontal EEG activity and, surprisingly, by language abilities. In …

Controlling for Acute Caffeine Intake in Cardiovascular Reactivity Research
… study contributes to methodological endeavors in psychophysiology. Further investigations are crucial in establishing ideal caffeine controls, which would promote increasingly valid and reliable cross-study results.

The sensing and measurement of frustration with computers
… for adapting interfaces. Drawing from psychophysiology and tactile sensing, we present frustration sensors as a way of incorporating user feedback into interface design processes. This thesis documents the development of designs for several sensors aimed at detecting user frustration …

The Development of Context-Specific Biofeedback Training Screens – An Application to Hockey Officials
… include educating officials on how their psychophysiology can influence their on-ice performance as well how they can utilize biofeedback training methods to restore and improve their performance. As a result, this research project is a critical step for future biofeedback research and …

Individual differences in autonomic response to secondary aversive events
<p>Recent research has shown that individuals scoring low on Barron’s (1953) Ego-Strength Scale show reduced skin conductance and heart rate response to a variety of stimuli. The question as to the manner in which these subjects reduce responsivity remains unanswered. Boudewyns and Levis (1975) …

Contralateral cueing effects on information processing during backward masking
<p>A series of related experiments was designed to investigate the effectiveness of contralateral cueing information in reducing monotic backward masking in the presence of a second, continuous masking noise. It was hypothesized that any facilitatory effects of the cue on detection performance …

Autonomic Nervous System Correlates of Emotion Regulation in Autistic Adults
Emotion regulation difficulty is commonly experienced by autistic adults and has been explored as a transdiagnostic mechanism contributing to anxiety and depression in autistic adults. Previous research has found that emotion regulation strategies and autonomic nervous system (ANS) responses …

Guilt in Childhood: Intersections with Regulatory Functioning and Implications for Aggression
We know that guilt plays an important role in managing social behavior across development, particularly in reducing the likelihood of aggression against others. However, this is to a large extent where developmental research on the adaptive nature of guilt stands, as few studies have ventured …

Effects of frontal cortex and caudate nucleus lesions on stimulus generalization learning in rats
The purpose of the present experiment was to compare the behavioral consequences in rats of lesions of the frontal pole area (FP), the anterior median cortex (AM) described by Leonard, and the caudate nucleus (CN) on a brightness stimulus generalization task. It was hypothesized that deficits in …
