- Artificial intelligence
- Neuron
John F. Kalaska spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Motor cortex, Electromyography, Communication and Posterior parietal cortex.
Much of his study explores Neuroscience relationship to Premotor cortex.
In his work, Degrees of freedom problem, Biomechanics, Population code and Primate is strongly intertwined with Geometry, which is a subfield of Motor cortex.
John F. Kalaska integrates Electromyography with Body movement in his research.
The Communication study combines topics in areas such as Population vector and Coding, Spatial coding.
His work deals with themes such as Mirror neuron, Superior parietal lobule, Cortex and Anatomy, which intersect with Posterior parietal cortex.
His most cited work include:
- On the relations between the direction of two-dimensional arm movements and cell discharge in primate motor cortex (1670 citations)
- Neural Mechanisms for Interacting with a World Full of Action Choices (899 citations)
- Neural Correlates of Reaching Decisions in Dorsal Premotor Cortex: Specification of Multiple Direction Choices and Final Selection of Action (744 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
John F. Kalaska mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Motor cortex, Communication, Premotor cortex and Primary motor cortex.
His study on Posterior parietal cortex, Electrophysiology and Central nervous system is often connected to Body movement and Isometric exercise as part of broader study in Neuroscience.
His Motor cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Electromyography, Tonic and Sensory system.
His Communication research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Perception, Computer vision and Artificial intelligence.
His study in Premotor cortex is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neural correlates of consciousness and Primate.
His studies in Primary motor cortex integrate themes in fields like Neuron and Motor control.
He most often published in these fields:
- Neuroscience (57.94%)
- Motor cortex (30.84%)
- Communication (25.23%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2019)?
- Neuroscience (57.94%)
- Premotor cortex (18.69%)
- Motor cortex (30.84%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Neuroscience, Premotor cortex, Motor cortex, Control theory and Dynamics are his primary areas of study.
His Neuroscience study typically links adjacent topics like Artificial intelligence.
His Premotor cortex research incorporates elements of Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Posterior parietal cortex.
His Motor cortex research includes elements of Neural activity, Sensory system and Communication.
His research in Communication intersects with topics in Neural correlates of consciousness, Coactivation and Selection.
John F. Kalaska has researched Primary motor cortex in several fields, including Representation and Cognitive science.
Between 2014 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- Dorsal premotor cortex: neural correlates of reach target decisions based on a color-location matching rule and conflicting sensory evidence. (60 citations)
- Macaque dorsal premotor cortex exhibits decision-related activity only when specific stimulus-response associations are known. (13 citations)
- Correlation-based model of artificially induced plasticity in motor cortex by a bidirectional brain-computer interface. (8 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Neuroscience
- Artificial intelligence
- Neuron
His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Motor cortex, Motor skill, Action selection and Premotor cortex.
His Neuroscience study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Compensation.
His Compensation study incorporates themes from Neural activity and Neuron.
His Sensory cue study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Checkerboard, Perception and Macaque.
He interconnects Neurophysiology, Neuron doctrine, Motor control, Biological neural network and Motor system in the investigation of issues within Optogenetics.
Primary motor cortex is closely attributed to Communication in his work.
