Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mirror neuron, Cognitive psychology, Neuroscience, Social cognition and Facial expression. His Mirror neuron research includes themes of Motor cortex, Somatosensory system, Brain activity and meditation and Social perception. His research investigates the connection with Cognitive psychology and areas like Cognition which intersect with concerns in Cognitive science.

Christian Keysers interconnects Empathy and Theory of mind in the investigation of issues within Social cognition. The Facial expression study combines topics in areas such as Feeling, Posterior parietal cortex and Temporal cortex. His work carried out in the field of Functional magnetic resonance imaging brings together such families of science as Hyperconnectivity, Autism, Neuroimaging and Brain mapping.

His most cited work include:

  • Both of us disgusted in My insula: the common neural basis of seeing and feeling disgust. (1738 citations)
  • Both of us disgusted in My insula: the common neural basis of seeing and feeling disgust. (1738 citations)
  • A unifying view of the basis of social cognition. (1579 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Mirror neuron, Empathy and Functional magnetic resonance imaging. He integrates several fields in his works, including Cognitive psychology and Disgust. His study in Mirror neuron is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Imitation, Social neuroscience, Social cognition and Perception.

The various areas that Christian Keysers examines in his Social cognition study include Cerebellum and Cerebellar disorder. His Empathy study combines topics in areas such as Developmental psychology, Feeling, Emotional contagion and Psychopathy. His Functional magnetic resonance imaging research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Resting state fMRI, Support vector machine and Brain mapping.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (60.37%)
  • Cognitive psychology (54.38%)
  • Mirror neuron (48.85%)

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

  • Neuroscience (60.37%)
  • Empathy (41.47%)
  • Emotional contagion (13.36%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Empathy, Emotional contagion, Cognitive psychology and Brain activity and meditation. His Neuroscience study incorporates themes from Statistical hypothesis testing and Bayes factor. His research in Empathy tackles topics such as Anterior cingulate cortex which are related to areas like Arousal, Stimulus and Mirror neuron.

In his work, Cognition is strongly intertwined with Gesture, which is a subfield of Mirror neuron. His Cognitive psychology research incorporates elements of Theory of mind and Functional connectivity. Christian Keysers has researched Brain activity and meditation in several fields, including Recall, Perception and Social cognition.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Measuring shared responses across subjects using intersubject correlation (80 citations)
  • Measuring shared responses across subjects using intersubject correlation (80 citations)
  • Using Bayes factor hypothesis testing in neuroscience to establish evidence of absence (73 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

Christian Keysers focuses on Neuroscience, Emotional contagion, Perception, Cognitive psychology and Functional magnetic resonance imaging. He has included themes like Social motivation and Aggression in his Neuroscience study. In his research on the topic of Emotional contagion, Prosocial behavior, Psychopathy and Harm is strongly related with Empathy.

His Perception research includes elements of Cerebellum, Cerebellar disorder and Social cognition. The study incorporates disciplines such as Granger causality and Information transfer in addition to Cognitive psychology. His Functional magnetic resonance imaging research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Recall and Brain activity and meditation.
