In this editorial, I discuss the advantages of interpreting brain data in the context of other bodily systems. I also discuss current research challenges that may greatly benefit from a psychophysiological approach in which multiple methods—both peripheral and central—are used to improve our understanding of brain function, its underlying physiology, and its relationship to psychological constructs. In closing, I summarize the major changes and policy highlights regarding papers published in Psychophysiology .
