title: What is applied psychophysiology? Toward a definition.
abstract: This paper presents a proposed working definition of "applied psychophysiology." The paper reviews the background for the term, reasons for formalizing a definition, and boundaries. The working definition, explanation of key terms, and inclusion and exclusion criteria are then presented. Selected questions are then addressed such as whether physiology always has to be measured, and the boundaries such as distinguishing applied psychophysiology from psychotherapy.
