Abstract
The last quarter century has brought tremendous technical advances in psychophysiology. In the area of physiological recording, developments in electronics have enabled us to pick up many more physiological functions. So, to take cardiac performance as an example, we have moved from measuring heart rate as the sole index to being able to assess such additional aspects as cardiac output, pulse transit time, and pulse ejection period. In addition, we have also been able to assess dependent-variable changes in more refined ways. Computerization developments have allowed us to measure cardiac-cycle effects in the electrocardiogram instead of being to look only at the inter-beat interval as the only chronotropic measure.
