Psychophysiology, an area of psychology that measures individual's physiological responses to refer to one's psychological state, can provide a set of useful measures HCI researchers can take advantage of. However, there are limitations to the method itself and room for misinterpretation. This paper introduces psychophysiology, and also shows how research methods psychophysiology offer can be used for HCI research, advantages and disadvantages of using research tools from psychophysiology.
