He has authored or edited 12 books and more than 330 scientific articles and chapters. He is a member of the National Advisory Council on Aging of the US Department of Health and Human Services and holds a Special Chair in Social Neurosciences at the Department of Social Psychology at Vrije Universitat in Amsterdam. Louis G. Tassinary is Professor of Architecture and the Associate Dean for Research in the Department of Architecture at Texas A & M University. He was also the Director of the Environmental Psychophysiology Laboratory at the College of Architecture at Texas A & M University from 1991–2001. He has written many articles for journals including Psychological Science, Journal of Environmental Psychology, Cognition and Emotion, and Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Gary G. Berntson received his Ph.D. in psychology and life sciences from the University of Minnesota, and then completed NSF and USPHS postdoctoral fellowships at Rockefeller University before moving to Ohio State University, where he is currently a Professor of Psychology, Psychiatry and Pediatrics, and a member of the Neuroscience graduate program. He is the Secretary and a member of the Board of the Society for Psychophysiological Research.

Reviews

' ... easily meets and exceeds the demands that can be placed on a contemporary textbook on psychophysiology ... a valuable addition to the collection of students and researchers.' Journal of Psychological Medicine ' ... the chapters are well referenced and balanced without excessive self-referencing ... Overall, the book is an essential, invaluable reference for psychophysiology researchers.' The Psychologist
