What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Social psychology
- Cognition
- Neuroscience
Her primary areas of investigation include Developmental psychology, Asperger syndrome, Empathy, Autism and Social cognition.
Her Developmental psychology research incorporates elements of Interpersonal relationship and Empathic concern.
Her Empathy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mentalization and Amygdala.
Her research in Autism intersects with topics in Stimulus and Social stimuli.
Giorgia Silani works mostly in the field of Social cognition, limiting it down to topics relating to Perception and, in certain cases, Cognitive psychology.
Her study in Cognitive psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Egocentrism and Self.
Her most cited work include:
- Neural responses to ingroup and outgroup members' suffering predict individual differences in costly helping (446 citations)
- Empathic brain responses in insula are modulated by levels of alexithymia but not autism (403 citations)
- Levels of emotional awareness and autism: An fMRI study (348 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary areas of study are Empathy, Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology, Neural correlates of consciousness and Autism.
Her work deals with themes such as Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Affect, Social cognition and Alexithymia, which intersect with Empathy.
Her work in Cognitive psychology addresses subjects such as Temporoparietal junction, which are connected to disciplines such as Neurocognitive and Right supramarginal gyrus.
The Developmental psychology study combines topics in areas such as Feeling and Interpersonal relationship.
Her work on Asperger syndrome and Autism spectrum disorder as part of general Autism research is frequently linked to Fusiform face area, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
Her studies deal with areas such as Interoception and Theory of mind as well as Asperger syndrome.
She most often published in these fields:
- Empathy (64.38%)
- Cognitive psychology (63.01%)
- Developmental psychology (36.99%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Cognitive psychology (63.01%)
- Empathy (64.38%)
- Neural correlates of consciousness (23.29%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Giorgia Silani mainly focuses on Cognitive psychology, Empathy, Neural correlates of consciousness, Developmental psychology and Anticipation.
Giorgia Silani combines Cognitive psychology and Perspective in her studies.
Her Empathy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Similarity, Neuroimaging and Perception.
Her work carried out in the field of Neural correlates of consciousness brings together such families of science as Interpersonal communication, Young adult, Egocentrism, Autism spectrum disorder and Flexibility.
As a part of the same scientific study, Giorgia Silani usually deals with the Flexibility, concentrating on Autism and frequently concerns with Music therapy.
Giorgia Silani has researched Developmental psychology in several fields, including Somatosensory system and Egocentric bias.
Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Reasoning supports utilitarian resolutions to moral dilemmas across diverse measures. (12 citations)
- When differences matter: rTMS/fMRI reveals how differences in dispositional empathy translate to distinct neural underpinnings of self-other distinction in empathy. (8 citations)
- Facial responses of adult humans during the anticipation and consumption of touch and food rewards. (7 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Social psychology
- Cognition
- Neuroscience
Her main research concerns Cognition, Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology, Facial electromyography and Anticipation.
Her Cognition research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Empathy and Affect.
Her Cognitive psychology study combines topics in areas such as Temporoparietal junction and Neurocognitive.
Giorgia Silani studies Developmental psychology, namely Autism.
Her Anticipation research overlaps with Naltrexone, Amisulpride and Opioidergic.
The Neural correlates of consciousness study combines topics in areas such as Anterior cingulate cortex, Social support and Ostracism.
