"An excellent introduction to both the methods and the principles of psychophysiology. It delivers well on the promise of its title, providing clear and well-organized descriptions of the basic phenomena in which psychophysiologists are interested and the most efficient ways in which to
measure them. ... I would not hesitate ... to recommend this book to [those] who desire a straighforward and uncomplicated initiation to the trials and tribulations of life with the polygraph. ... A welcome addition to the field." --Contemporary Psychology

Review:

"In 1980, Stern, Ray and Davis published their book Psychophysiological Recording. This was one of the first highly readable texts for those beginning the study of psychophysiology, and it soon became a classic for thousands of students. Now, 21 years later, the second edition has appeared. It is an expanded and updated version of the first edition and takes into account the technological advances made over the last two decades. All in all, the book by Stern et al. is a concise and scholarly introduction into the difficult field of psychophysiology. The text is highly readable. The various attractive illustrations facilitate understanding. Its major strength is the coverage of theoretical concepts and, especially, of measurement issues concerning the activity of various organs and systems." -- G. Vossel, JOP, 15, 2001
