Psychophysiologists are primarily concerned with the physiological basis of behavior, and they often use techniques such as cortical ERPs (event-related potentials) to measure brain activity in response to various stimuli. Neuropsychologists may also be interested in cortical ERPs, but their focus is more on how brain damage or dysfunction affects behavior. Physiological psychologists may use cortical ERPs, but their focus is broader and encompasses other physiological measures as well. Psychopharmacologists focus on how drugs affect behavior, and comparative psychologists study behavior across species rather than focusing specifically on human volunteers.
