Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Electroencephalography, Motor cortex, Transcranial direct-current stimulation and Brain mapping. His work in the fields of Neuroscience, such as Transcranial magnetic stimulation and Gyrus, overlaps with other areas such as Electromagnetic coil, Field strength and Nuclear magnetic resonance. His research in Electroencephalography intersects with topics in Stimulation and Posterior parietal cortex.

His Biomedical engineering research extends to the thematically linked field of Motor cortex. His Transcranial direct-current stimulation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Skull and Cortex. Alexander Opitz combines subjects such as Neuromodulation, Somatosensory system and Neural activity with his study of Brain mapping.

His most cited work include:

  • Transcranial focused ultrasound modulates the activity of primary somatosensory cortex in humans (434 citations)
  • Transcranial focused ultrasound modulates the activity of primary somatosensory cortex in humans (434 citations)
  • Determinants of the electric field during transcranial direct current stimulation (343 citations)

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

Alexander Opitz spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Stimulation, Transcranial direct-current stimulation, Transcranial magnetic stimulation and Electroencephalography. His work in Motor cortex, Cortex, Brain stimulation, Transcranial alternating current stimulation and Electric stimulation is related to Neuroscience. He works mostly in the field of Motor cortex, limiting it down to concerns involving Biomedical engineering and, occasionally, Biological neural network and Skull.

The Stimulation study combines topics in areas such as Neuroplasticity and Brain activity and meditation. His work investigates the relationship between Transcranial direct-current stimulation and topics such as Human brain that intersect with problems in Functional connectivity, Biophysical Phenomena, Postmortem studies and Functional imaging. His work in Electroencephalography covers topics such as Somatosensory system which are related to areas like Somatosensory evoked potential.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (88.24%)
  • Stimulation (30.39%)
  • Transcranial direct-current stimulation (32.35%)

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

  • Neuroscience (88.24%)
  • Stimulation (30.39%)
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (30.39%)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Stimulation, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Transcranial direct-current stimulation and Brain stimulation. His study in the field of Prefrontal cortex, Hippocampal formation and Excitatory postsynaptic potential is also linked to topics like Tissue culture and Intensity. His Brodmann area 45, Left prefrontal cortex and Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex study in the realm of Prefrontal cortex connects with subjects such as Non human primate and Analytic element method.

He interconnects Brain activity and meditation and Neuron in the investigation of issues within Stimulation. His research integrates issues of Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Electroencephalography in his study of Transcranial magnetic stimulation. His studies deal with areas such as Working memory, Cognition, Default mode network and Brain function as well as Transcranial direct-current stimulation.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Brain state and polarity dependent modulation of brain networks by transcranial direct current stimulation (39 citations)
  • Blinding is compromised for transcranial direct current stimulation at 1 mA for 20 min in young healthy adults (37 citations)
  • Comparative modeling of transcranial magnetic and electric stimulation in mouse, monkey, and human (29 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging

His scientific interests lie mostly in Stimulation, Neuroscience, Brain activity and meditation, Transcranial direct-current stimulation and Transcranial alternating current stimulation. His research in Neuroscience is mostly concerned with Electric stimulation. His work deals with themes such as Transcranial magnetic stimulation and Macaque, which intersect with Electric stimulation.

His Transcranial direct-current stimulation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cognition and Physical medicine and rehabilitation. His study in the field of Default mode network also crosses realms of Polarity. His Physical medicine and rehabilitation research includes elements of Mind-wandering and Brain stimulation.
