What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Neuroscience
- Consciousness
- Internal medicine
His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Sensation, Stimulus and Unconscious mind.
Benjamin Libet combines subjects such as Consciousness and Relation with his study of Cognitive psychology.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Cerebral cortex and Somatosensory system in addition to Sensation.
His Somatosensory system research incorporates themes from Somatosensory evoked potential and Stimulation.
The various areas that Benjamin Libet examines in his Stimulus study include Perception, Sensory system and Audiology.
His study in Perception is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Developmental psychology, Recall, Cognition and Voluntary action.
His most cited work include:
- Time of conscious intention to act in relation to onset of cerebral activity (readiness-potential). The unconscious initiation of a freely voluntary act. (1704 citations)
- Unconscious cerebral initiative and the role of conscious will in voluntary action (1522 citations)
- TIME OF CONSCIOUS INTENTION TO ACT IN RELATION TO ONSET OF CEREBRAL ACTIVITY (READINESS-POTENTIAL) (664 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Sensory system, Stimulus and Consciousness.
His studies deal with areas such as Neurophysiology, Relation and Unconscious mind as well as Cognitive psychology.
His Unconscious mind research focuses on subjects like Developmental psychology, which are linked to Readiness Potentials.
His Stimulus research incorporates elements of Cognition, Perception, Audiology and Medial lemniscus.
He has researched Perception in several fields, including Recall and Voluntary action.
His Somatosensory system study incorporates themes from Brain stimulation, Stimulation and Sensation.
He most often published in these fields:
- Neuroscience (41.00%)
- Cognitive psychology (18.00%)
- Sensory system (18.00%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2007)?
- Consciousness (15.00%)
- Cognitive science (13.00%)
- Cognitive psychology (18.00%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Consciousness, Cognitive science, Cognitive psychology, Free will and Neural correlates of consciousness.
Benjamin Libet interconnects Conscience, Metaphysics and Voluntary action, Action in the investigation of issues within Consciousness.
His work deals with themes such as Developmental psychology, Social psychology, Volition and Neuroscience of free will, which intersect with Cognitive science.
His research in Developmental psychology intersects with topics in Time perception and Consciousness states.
His Cognitive psychology research includes themes of Stimulus and Unconscious mind.
His Sensory cortex research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sensation, Neuronal firing and Duration.
Between 1997 and 2007, his most popular works were:
- Do we have free will (291 citations)
- Mind Time: The Temporal Factor in Consciousness (283 citations)
- Conscious intention and brain activity. (81 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Neuroscience
- Consciousness
- Internal medicine
Benjamin Libet mostly deals with Free will, Consciousness, Cognitive science, Volition and Cognitive psychology.
Much of his study explores Free will relationship to Relation.
His Relation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Brain activity and meditation, Intentionality, Metaphysics and Action.
He has included themes like Determinism, Neuroscience of free will and Philosophy of psychology in his Cognitive science study.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Affect, Soul, Voluntary action and Identity.
His Unconscious mind research extends to Soul, which is thematically connected.
