Psychophysiology Focus Areas
Comprehensive coverage of mind-body science and clinical applications
Autonomic Nervous System Research
The autonomic nervous system mediates stress responses and homeostatic regulation throughout the body, influencing cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and immune function. JPR publishes research on sympathetic and parasympathetic function, vagal tone assessment, and autonomic dysregulation in clinical conditions from anxiety disorders to cardiovascular disease.
Biofeedback Clinical Applications
Biofeedback translates physiological awareness into clinical benefit through self-regulation training that empowers patients to modulate their own autonomic responses. We welcome research on HRV biofeedback, neurofeedback protocols, EMG applications, and thermal biofeedback for conditions including hypertension, chronic pain, and anxiety disorders.
Stress and Health Connections
Chronic stress contributes to numerous health conditions from cardiovascular disease to mental health disorders to immune dysfunction. JPR publishes research on stress biomarkers, allostatic load, resilience factors, and interventions that modulate stress physiology to improve health outcomes across populations.
Methodological Innovation
Psychophysiology advances through measurement innovation that enables increasingly precise and ecologically valid assessment of mind-body interactions. We welcome research on signal processing methods, wearable physiological monitoring, ambulatory assessment techniques, and novel analytical approaches advancing the field.
Interdisciplinary Integration
Psychophysiology bridges psychology, physiology, neuroscience, and clinical medicine. JPR serves as a nexus connecting these disciplines, publishing research accessible across specialties while maintaining technical rigor for physiological measurement and psychological assessment methods.
Clinical Practice Implications
Research must inform clinical practice. JPR prioritizes studies with implications for biofeedback therapists, stress management practitioners, and healthcare providers integrating psychophysiological approaches into patient care for diverse conditions.
Technology and Innovation
Wearable technology transforms psychophysiology research enabling ambulatory monitoring outside laboratory settings. JPR welcomes research utilizing consumer devices, mobile applications, and remote monitoring advancing real-world psychophysiological assessment.
Editorial Opportunities
Join our editorial board to shape psychophysiology publishing. Handle manuscripts in biofeedback, HRV research, or stress physiology. Propose special issues on emerging topics from wearable monitoring to virtual reality biofeedback applications.
> JPR maintains strict editorial independence. All submissions undergo rigorous double-blind peer review regardless of membership tier. Our reviewers evaluate manuscripts for methodological rigor, clinical relevance, and potential to advance psychophysiology science. This ensures the JPR seal represents excellence in mind-body research. Join our global community of psychophysiologists, biofeedback clinicians, and stress researchers advancing the science of how psychological and physiological systems interact. The Journal of Psychophysiology Practice and Research has established itself as a vital platform for scholars and practitioners investigating mind-body connections from basic mechanisms to clinical interventions that improve patient health outcomes.
