Overview

Anna C. Nobre is affiliated with Yale University in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience, with an emphasis on cognitive neuroscience. Their scholarly output includes 251 publications in this main field, encompassing subfields such as experimental and cognitive psychology, neurology, psychiatry and mental health, and computer vision and pattern recognition.

Their work covers several key topics, including neural and behavioral psychology studies, neural dynamics and brain function, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, visual perception and processing mechanisms, functional brain connectivity studies, memory and neural mechanisms, and visual attention and saliency detection.

They have published in various scientific journals, frequently appearing in the Journal of Vision with 34 publications and bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) with 30 publications. Other common venues include Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Journal of Neuroscience, and Cognition.

Some of the recent papers include:

Gender bias in academia: A lifetime problem that needs solutions (2021, Neuron)
Turning Attention Inside Out: How Working Memory Serves Behavior (2022, Annual Review of Psychology)
Functional but not obligatory link between microsaccades and neural modulation by covert spatial attention (2022, Nature Communications)
EMD: Empirical Mode Decomposition and Hilbert-Huang Spectral Analyses in Python (2021, The Journal of Open Source Software)
When Natural Behavior Engages Working Memory (2020, Current Biology)

Frequent coauthors throughout their career include Freek van Ede, Sage Boettcher, Mark W. Woolrich, Andrew J. Quinn, and Dejan Draschkow.
