  • 2019 - OSA Fellows Geoffrey K. Aguirre University of Pennsylvania, United States For fundamental and technically sophisticated non-invasive measurements of retinal and cortical visual processing in healthy humans, and translation of the understanding gained from these measurements to the characterization and treatment of blinding disease

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Statistics

Geoffrey K. Aguirre mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Neuroimaging, Cognitive psychology and Topographical disorientation. His studies in Cognition, Functional imaging, Perception and Brain mapping are all subfields of Neuroscience research. His research integrates issues of Stimulus and Neural activity in his study of Cognition.

His Functional magnetic resonance imaging research includes themes of Contrast, Temporal lobe, Motor cortex, Prefrontal cortex and Laterality. His Prefrontal cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Interference theory, Short-term memory and Spatial memory. His Cognitive psychology research includes elements of Semantics, Dorsal ventral and Semantic memory.

His most cited work include:

  • Role of left inferior prefrontal cortex in retrieval of semantic knowledge: A reevaluation (1704 citations)
  • The Variability of Human, BOLD Hemodynamic Responses (1059 citations)
  • Functional MRI studies of spatial and nonspatial working memory. (898 citations)

Geoffrey K. Aguirre focuses on Neuroscience, Stimulus, Melanopsin, Visual cortex and Perception. His research brings together the fields of Disease and Neuroscience. Geoffrey K. Aguirre interconnects Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Corpus callosum, Splenium and Photopigment in the investigation of issues within Visual cortex.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Developmental psychology and Stimulus Variability in addition to Functional magnetic resonance imaging. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cognitive psychology, Sensory system, Negative correlation and Statistics, Bayesian probability. His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cognition and Motor skill.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Variation of outdoor illumination as a function of solar elevation and light pollution (71 citations)
  • The Human Visual Cortex Response To Melanopsin-Directed Stimulation Is Accompanied By A Distinct Perceptual Experience (46 citations)
  • Predicting future learning from baseline network architecture. (34 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Statistics

Geoffrey K. Aguirre spends much of his time researching Stimulus, Cognitive psychology, Visual cortex, White matter and Neuroscience. Geoffrey K. Aguirre focuses mostly in the field of Stimulus, narrowing it down to topics relating to Perception and, in certain cases, Sensory system, Neural adaptation and Developmental psychology. His studies deal with areas such as Cognition and Motor skill as well as Cognitive psychology.

His study brings together the fields of Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Visual cortex. The concepts of his Functional magnetic resonance imaging study are interwoven with issues in Splenium, Lateral geniculate nucleus, Corpus callosum and Audiology. Visual perception, Photopigment and Melanopsin are among the areas of Neuroscience where he concentrates his study.
