Neurophysiology and Psychophysiology

<p>Originally published in 1988 in several respects this book is a tribute to the outstanding career of the late Donald B. Lindsley (1907-2003) who over a span of more than 55 years had contributed greatly to the development of research in the fields of neurophysiology psychophysiology and experimental psychology. The impetus for the book was a conference held at UCLA to honor Professor Lindsley for his numerous and significant contributions to psychology. The chapters of this book have been written by Professor Lindsley’s colleagues and co-workers and by former students and postdoctoral fellows. The introductory chapter written by Lindsley himself tells of 2000 years of pondering. The chapter is a discussion of the lengthy history of neurophysiology psychophysiology and behaviour. Many of the topics mentioned in this chapter are subsequently presented in the book as reports of ongoing research in the field.</p>
