Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Surgery

His primary areas of investigation include Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Sleep apnea, Anesthesia, Stimulation and Surgery. His research in Transcranial magnetic stimulation intersects with topics in Audiology, Facial muscles, Compound muscle action potential, Facial canal and Posterior parietal cortex. His studies deal with areas such as Ophthalmology, Glaucoma, Airway, Pediatrics and Epilepsy as well as Sleep apnea.

His Anesthesia research includes themes of Non-rapid eye movement sleep, Slow-wave sleep, Sleep spindle, K-complex and Sleep disorder. His Stimulation study deals with the bigger picture of Neuroscience. His Surgery research incorporates themes from Somatosensory evoked potential and Confidence interval.

His most cited work include:

  • Sleepiness-related accidents in sleep apnea patients. (196 citations)
  • High prevalence of glaucoma in patients with sleep apnea syndrome (196 citations)
  • Early prognosis in coma after cardiac arrest: a prospective clinical, electrophysiological, and biochemical study of 60 patients. (187 citations)

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

Christian W. Hess spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Stimulation, Audiology and Anesthesia. His Transcranial magnetic stimulation research focuses on subjects like Saccade, which are linked to Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. He combines subjects such as Cortex and Posterior parietal cortex with his study of Stimulation.

His research in Audiology tackles topics such as Developmental psychology which are related to areas like Arousal. His work in Anesthesia tackles topics such as Surgery which are related to areas like Stroke. While the research belongs to areas of Sleep apnea, Christian W. Hess spends his time largely on the problem of Glaucoma, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Intraocular pressure.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (31.76%)
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (21.62%)
  • Stimulation (16.89%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2018)?

  • Stroke (5.41%)
  • Neuroscience (31.76%)
  • Audiology (15.54%)

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

Christian W. Hess mainly investigates Stroke, Neuroscience, Audiology, Neurology and Excessive daytime sleepiness. Christian W. Hess has included themes like Parietal lobe, Lesion and Quadrant in his Stroke study. His research investigates the connection with Parietal lobe and areas like Cardiology which intersect with concerns in Surgery.

His work on Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, Motor cortex and Motor skill is typically connected to Grey matter as part of general Neuroscience study, connecting several disciplines of science. His studies in Audiology integrate themes in fields like Developmental psychology, Sleep in non-human animals, Neurological disorder, Gesture and Repeated measures design. His work on Sleep apnea as part of general Anesthesia research is frequently linked to Pupillography, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

Between 2010 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Lesions to Primary Sensory and Posterior Parietal Cortices Impair Recovery from Hand Paresis after Stroke (48 citations)
  • Interference with gesture production by theta burst stimulation over left inferior frontal cortex (30 citations)
  • Why do we yawn? The importance of evidence for specific yawn-induced effects (25 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Surgery

Christian W. Hess mostly deals with Neuroscience, Motor cortex, Yawn, Social psychology and Cognitive psychology. His study connects Repeated measures design and Neuroscience. His research in Motor cortex intersects with topics in Cerebellum, Caudate nucleus, Magnetic resonance imaging and Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

He conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Yawn and Physiological function.
