psühhofüsioloogiliste

Psühhofüsioloogiliste is an Estonian adjective derived from the words "psühho" (psycho) and "füsioloogiline" (physiological). It translates directly to "psychophysiological" in English. The term refers to the study of the relationship between psychological processes and physiological states. It is concerned with how mental events, such as thoughts, emotions, and stress, influence bodily functions, and conversely, how physiological changes can impact psychological experiences.

This interdisciplinary field draws from psychology, physiology, neuroscience, and medicine. Research in psychophysiology often investigates phenomena like the body's response to stress, the physiological basis of emotions, the effects of meditation and relaxation techniques on the body, and the neural correlates of cognitive processes. Common physiological measures used in psychophysiological studies include heart rate, blood pressure, electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and skin conductance. The ultimate aim is to understand the intricate interplay between the mind and the body.
