Biopsychology is a field of psychology that analyzes how biological processes interact with behaviour, emotion, cognition, and other mental processes. Biopsychology covers, among others, the topics of sensation and perception, emotion regulation, movement (and control of such), sleep and biological rhythms, as well as acute and chronic stress.

To assess the interaction between biological and mental processes a variety of different modalities are used in the field of biopsychology, such as electrophysiology, assessed, for instance, via electrocardiography (ECG), electrodermal activity (EDA), or electroencephalography (EEG), sleep, activity and movement, assessed via inertial measurement units (IMUs), neuroendocrine and inflammatory biomarkers, assessed by saliva and blood samples, as well as self-reports, assessed via psychological questionnaires.
