Abstract:
The main developments emphasizing the birth and ascent of Neuroscientific Psychophysiology are highlighted. More than a century ago, monumental contributions laid the grounds for our understanding of the human brain-body-behavior-environment interrelationships with theoretical, methodological, empirical and applied underpinnings. Thousands of Psychophysiologists worldwide have contributed to enrich humanity's knowledge and will continue to enhance Neuroscientific Psychophysiology by enlarging its horizons and important ramifications. The excellence of Neuroscientific Psychophysiology is reflected in the world renowned and highly acclaimed International Journal of Psychophysiology which this year, celebrated its 25th Anniversary. The International Organization of Psychophysiology, associated with the United Nations (New York) unites professional Neuroscientists from around the world and integrates interdisciplinary Psychophysiology as a leading neuroscience.
