Overview

Dirk De Ridder is affiliated with the University of Otago in New Zealand. Their research primarily spans the fields of Neuroscience and Medicine, with a significant focus on subfields including Cognitive Neuroscience, Neurology, Sensory Systems, Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, and Pharmacology.

The scientist's recent publications reflect a concentration on brain function, pain, and neurofeedback, with key papers such as:

  • Consensus on the reporting and experimental design of clinical and cognitive-behavioural neurofeedback studies (CRED-nf checklist), 2020, published in Brain
  • The anatomy of pain and suffering in the brain and its clinical implications, 2021, Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
  • Pain and the Triple Network Model, 2022, Frontiers in Neurology
  • Anterior Cingulate Cortex in Addiction: New Insights for Neuromodulation, 2020, Neuromodulation Technology at the Neural Interface
  • Tinnitus and the Triple Network Model: A Perspective, 2022, Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology

Frequent co-authors in Dirk De Ridder's work include:

  • Sven Vanneste
  • Divya Bharatkumar Adhia
  • Berthold Langguth
  • Ramakrishnan Mani
  • Winfried Schlee

The scientist's studies have been published extensively in several research venues, among which the most recurrent are:

  • Neuromodulation Technology at the Neural Interface
  • Frontiers in Neuroscience
  • Progress in Brain Research
  • Journal of Clinical Medicine
  • Brain Communications

Dirk De Ridder's research topics focus largely on:

  • Hearing, Cochlea, Tinnitus, Genetics
  • Musculoskeletal Pain and Rehabilitation
