Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Internal medicine

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cognitive psychology, Neuroscience, Blindsight, Amnesia and Visual cortex. His work carried out in the field of Cognitive psychology brings together such families of science as Stimulus, Consciousness, Long-term memory, Cognition and Eye blink. His work on Amygdala, Hippocampal formation, Thalamus and Visual system as part of general Neuroscience study is frequently connected to Behavioral biology, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His Blindsight research integrates issues from Cortical blindness, Hemianopsia, Visual acuity and Audiology. The concepts of his Amnesia study are interwoven with issues in Cued recall, Indirect tests of memory, Developmental psychology and Verbal material. Many of his research projects under Visual cortex are closely connected to Luminous energy and Brain activity and meditation with Luminous energy and Brain activity and meditation, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

His most cited work include:

  • Visual capacity in the hemianopic field following a restricted occipital ablation. (1149 citations)
  • Blindsight : a case study and implications (742 citations)
  • Behavioral changes associated with ablation of the amygdaloid complex in monkeys (694 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Blindsight, Cognitive psychology, Visual cortex and Audiology. His Neuroscience study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Contrast. His work investigates the relationship between Blindsight and topics such as Visual field that intersect with problems in Blind spot.

Cognitive science is closely connected to Consciousness in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Cognitive psychology. Lawrence Weiskrantz has researched Visual cortex in several fields, including Pupillometry, Pupil, N2pc and Spatial frequency. His Audiology study deals with Communication intersecting with Pattern recognition.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (38.82%)
  • Blindsight (32.49%)
  • Cognitive psychology (27.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2017)?

  • Blindsight (32.49%)
  • Neuroscience (38.82%)
  • Cognitive psychology (27.43%)

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

His primary areas of study are Blindsight, Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Visual cortex and Stimulus. His Blindsight study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Visual perception. His Neuroscience study frequently involves adjacent topics like Contrast.

His work deals with themes such as Consciousness, Facial expression and Functional integration, which intersect with Cognitive psychology. His studies in Visual cortex integrate themes in fields like Computer vision, N2pc, Visual processing and Artificial intelligence. His study explores the link between Stimulus and topics such as Communication that cross with problems in Detection performance.

Between 2002 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Unseen facial and bodily expressions trigger fast emotional reactions (220 citations)
  • Spatial attention speeds discrimination without awareness in blindsight. (168 citations)
  • Subcortical connections to human amygdala and changes following destruction of the visual cortex (147 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of investigation include Blindsight, Cognitive psychology, Neuroscience, Visual cortex and Visual perception. His Cognitive psychology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Stimulus, Luminance and Facial expression. Striate cortex, Human brain and Superior colliculus are the subjects of his Neuroscience studies.

His Visual perception study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Consciousness, Visual field and Blind spot. Lawrence Weiskrantz has included themes like Cortical blindness and Audiology in his Visual field study. His Perception research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Neuroimaging and Cortex.
