Two types of membership are available:

• Full Members are typically working in and/or have published scientific research in psychophysiology or related areas, and are typically members of one of the major recognised professional associations for psychology, medicine, neuroscience, biology, or engineering. At a minimum, to become a Full Member an applicant must have an interest in Psychophysiology and should have a degree from a tertiary institution or equivalent (resolved: AGM 13/12/92). The executive has discretion in criteria, and an applicant may for example be sponsored by two Full Members of the Society.

• Student Members are required to be currently enrolled in an undergraduate or predoctoral academic program in psychophysiology or a related area. Student status may be required to be certified annually by the student's research supervisor or Head of Department or delegate.
