Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Empathy, Neuroscience, Sensory system and Developmental psychology. He combines subjects such as Motor system, Motor skill and Physical medicine and rehabilitation with his study of Transcranial magnetic stimulation. His studies in Motor system integrate themes in fields like Mirror neuron, Cognitive psychology and Cognition.

His Empathy research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Insula, Neurotypical, Feeling and Asperger syndrome. His Neuroscience research focuses on Somatosensory evoked potential and Perception. His work focuses on many connections between Sensory system and other disciplines, such as Pain empathy, that overlap with his field of interest in Stimulus and Audiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation highlights the sensorimotor side of empathy for pain (490 citations)
  • Racial Bias Reduces Empathic Sensorimotor Resonance with Other-Race Pain (356 citations)
  • Empathy for Pain and Touch in the Human Somatosensory Cortex (295 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Neuroscience, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Cognitive psychology, Perception and Motor cortex are his primary areas of study. His work in the fields of Neuroscience, such as Transcranial direct-current stimulation, CTBS and Mirror neuron, intersects with other areas such as Premotor cortex and Action observation. His work deals with themes such as Motor system, Empathy, Stimulus and Sensory system, which intersect with Transcranial magnetic stimulation.

His Sensory system research integrates issues from Somatosensory evoked potential and Pain empathy. His study in Cognitive psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Facial expression and Cognition. His research in Perception focuses on subjects like Communication, which are connected to Visual processing.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (70.59%)
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (57.14%)
  • Cognitive psychology (32.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (70.59%)
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (57.14%)
  • Transcranial direct-current stimulation (20.17%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Alessio Avenanti mainly investigates Neuroscience, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Transcranial direct-current stimulation, Facial expression and Cognitive psychology. Neuroscience and Dynamics are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary work. In his works, Alessio Avenanti undertakes multidisciplinary study on Transcranial magnetic stimulation and State dependent.

His Transcranial direct-current stimulation research incorporates themes from Motor cortex, Recall, Brain stimulation and Cognition. Much of his study explores Cognitive psychology relationship to Empathy. The Empathy study combines topics in areas such as Affect, Perception and Fusiform gyrus.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in ADHD: A Systematic Review of Efficacy, Safety, and Protocol-induced Electrical Field Modeling Results (15 citations)
  • Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in ADHD: A Systematic Review of Efficacy, Safety, and Protocol-induced Electrical Field Modeling Results (15 citations)
  • Blocking facial mimicry affects recognition of facial and body expressions (12 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Transcranial direct-current stimulation and Extinction. His research in the fields of Primary motor cortex, Associative plasticity and Paired associative stimulation overlaps with other disciplines such as Long latency and Premotor cortex. His studies link Prefrontal cortex with Transcranial magnetic stimulation.

He works mostly in the field of Transcranial direct-current stimulation, limiting it down to topics relating to Audiology and, in certain cases, Cognition, as a part of the same area of interest. His Extinction research includes elements of Recall and Ventromedial prefrontal cortex. His Empathy study combines topics in areas such as Visual perception and Functional neuroimaging.
