Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Cerebral cortex

John G. McHaffie spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Sensory system, Threshold of pain, Stimulus and Brain mapping. His Neuroscience research focuses on Superior colliculus in particular. His studies in Superior colliculus integrate themes in fields like Cerebral cortex, Stimulation, Superior Colliculi and Midbrain.

His Threshold of pain research incorporates elements of Insular cortex and Prefrontal cortex. The concepts of his Stimulus study are interwoven with issues in Electrophysiology, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Reflex. His Brain mapping study incorporates themes from Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Saccadic masking, Eye movement, Supplementary eye field.

His most cited work include:

  • The subjective experience of pain: Where expectations become reality (525 citations)
  • Neural correlates of interindividual differences in the subjective experience of pain (454 citations)
  • Brain Mechanisms Supporting the Modulation of Pain by Mindfulness Meditation (376 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Superior colliculus, Anatomy, Sensory system and Basal ganglia. John G. McHaffie performs multidisciplinary study on Neuroscience and Noxious stimulus in his works. He has researched Superior colliculus in several fields, including Striatum, Substantia nigra, Central nervous system, Brainstem and Visual cortex.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Anterior cingulate cortex, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Superior Colliculi, Cognitive therapy and Brain mapping in addition to Sensory system. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Threshold of pain and Prefrontal cortex. In his research, Functional imaging is intimately related to Putamen, which falls under the overarching field of Basal ganglia.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (76.19%)
  • Superior colliculus (57.14%)
  • Anatomy (26.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

  • Neuroscience (76.19%)
  • Superior colliculus (57.14%)
  • Mindfulness (6.35%)

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

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Superior colliculus, Mindfulness, Sensory system and Opioidergic. His is doing research in Sensory cue, Basal ganglia and Midbrain, both of which are found in Neuroscience. His work in Basal ganglia addresses subjects such as Cerebral cortex, which are connected to disciplines such as Putamen, Functional imaging, Indirect pathway of movement, Anatomy and Threshold of pain.

His Superior colliculus study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Multisensory integration and Thalamus. As part of the same scientific family, John G. McHaffie usually focuses on Sensory system, concentrating on Brain mapping and intersecting with Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Sensory processing and Communication. John G. McHaffie has included themes like Anterior cingulate cortex and Cognitive therapy in his Psychotherapist study.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Brain Mechanisms Supporting the Modulation of Pain by Mindfulness Meditation (376 citations)
  • Mindfulness meditation-related pain relief: evidence for unique brain mechanisms in the regulation of pain. (169 citations)
  • Mindfulness Meditation-Based Pain Relief Employs Different Neural Mechanisms Than Placebo and Sham Mindfulness Meditation-Induced Analgesia. (138 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuron
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Clinical psychology, Mindfulness, Cognition, Psychotherapist and Brain activity and meditation. His study in Clinical psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Insular cortex, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Analgesic, Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and Threshold of pain. His research in Cognition intersects with topics in Neuroimaging and Mood.

His Brain activity and meditation investigation overlaps with other disciplines such as Anterior cingulate cortex, Brain mapping, Neuroscience, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Developmental psychology. He conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Anterior cingulate cortex and Noxious stimulus. His Cognitive behavioral therapy study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Sensory system.
