Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognition

Giorgio Vallortigara spends much of his time researching Lateralization of brain function, Laterality, Communication, Developmental psychology and Brain asymmetry. His Lateralization of brain function study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Evolutionary biology, Evolutionarily stable strategy and Perception. His studies deal with areas such as Zoology, Cerebral hemisphere, Stimulus and Gambusia as well as Laterality.

His Stimulus study combines topics in areas such as Social relation and Social orienting. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cartography, Spatial ability, Spatial cognition, Modularity and Artificial intelligence. His Developmental psychology research integrates issues from Pecking order and Girardinus falcatus.

His most cited work include:

  • Survival with an asymmetrical brain: Advantages and disadvantages of cerebral lateralization (853 citations)
  • Advantages of having a lateralized brain. (383 citations)
  • The Origins of Cerebral Asymmetry: A Review of Evidence of Behavioural and Brain Lateralization in Fishes, Reptiles and Amphibians (343 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Lateralization of brain function, Communication, Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology and Laterality. His research in Lateralization of brain function intersects with topics in Developmental psychology, Stimulus and Anatomy. His work is dedicated to discovering how Communication, Artificial intelligence are connected with Pattern recognition and other disciplines.

Giorgio Vallortigara is involved in the study of Neuroscience that focuses on Stimulation in particular. His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cognition and Preference. His work carried out in the field of Laterality brings together such families of science as Zoology, Cerebral hemisphere and Gambusia.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Lateralization of brain function (26.37%)
  • Communication (20.43%)
  • Neuroscience (16.15%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (16.15%)
  • Lateralization of brain function (26.37%)
  • Cognitive psychology (15.68%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Lateralization of brain function, Cognitive psychology, Stimulus and Cognition. His Neuroscience research includes themes of Embryonic stem cell, Preference and Zebrafish. The concepts of his Lateralization of brain function study are interwoven with issues in Zoology and Laterality.

His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Variety, Mental number line and Perception. His Stimulus research incorporates elements of Visual perception and Imprinting. His Imprinting research includes elements of Statistical learning and Precocial.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cortical route for facelike pattern processing in human newborns (39 citations)
  • Individual-Level and Population-Level Lateralization: Two Sides of the Same Coin (34 citations)
  • A mental number line in human newborns (26 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognition

Neuroscience, Lateralization of brain function, Stimulus, Cognitive psychology and Left and right are his primary areas of study. Giorgio Vallortigara interconnects Embryonic stem cell and Zebrafish in the investigation of issues within Neuroscience. When carried out as part of a general Lateralization of brain function research project, his work on Brain asymmetry is frequently linked to work in Evolution of tetrapods, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

Giorgio Vallortigara combines subjects such as Antisymmetry, Behavioral test, Biological neural network, Fish species and Evolutionary significance with his study of Brain asymmetry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Electroencephalography, Source reconstruction, Pattern processing, Visual perception and Stimulation in addition to Stimulus. His Cognitive psychology study incorporates themes from Escape response, Variety, Motion cues and Orientation.
