Research Methods for Biological Psychology

This volume looks at the latest research methodologies for linking nervous system activity and behavior. The chapters in this book cover topics such as technical and methodological aspects required to examine the electromagnetic signals underlying cortical activity (EEG/event-related potentials, MEG, and EEG source localization); studying local cerebral blood flow using functional near-infrared spectroscopy; different applications of magnetic resonance imaging; and genetic analyses in neurodevelopmental disorders and some of the main non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, including electrical and magnetic stimulation methods. In the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory. Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Research Methods for Biological Psychology is a valuable reference guide for all researchers interested in learning more about the field of psychobiology and cognitive/affective neuroscience.
