Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognition

Neuroscience, Visual cortex, Cortex, Temporal cortex and Visual system are her primary areas of study. All of her Neuroscience and Posterior parietal cortex, Visual memory, Brain mapping, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Biased Competition Theory investigations are sub-components of the entire Neuroscience study. Her work deals with themes such as Attentional control, Receptive field, Anatomy and Amygdala, which intersect with Visual cortex.

In her work, Inferior frontal gyrus, Fusiform gyrus, Stimulus modality and Gyrus is strongly intertwined with Intraparietal sulcus, which is a subfield of Cortex. The study incorporates disciplines such as Orientation column and Binocular neurons in addition to Temporal cortex. Her Visual system research integrates issues from Visual perception, Visual N1 and Neuroanatomy.

Her most cited work include:

  • Two cortical visual systems (3946 citations)
  • Object vision and spatial vision: two cortical pathways (2127 citations)
  • Mechanisms of Visual Attention in the Human Cortex (1805 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Visual cortex, Cognitive psychology, Temporal cortex and Anatomy. Her study in Cortex, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Posterior parietal cortex, Extrastriate cortex and Brain mapping is done as part of Neuroscience. Her research investigates the connection between Visual cortex and topics such as Macaque that intersect with problems in Neuroimaging.

Her Cognitive psychology study combines topics in areas such as Perception, Face perception, Stimulus, Working memory and Facial expression. Her research in Temporal cortex focuses on subjects like Communication, which are connected to Pattern recognition. Her Anatomy research incorporates themes from Parietal lobe, Superior temporal sulcus and Thalamus.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (58.64%)
  • Visual cortex (29.83%)
  • Cognitive psychology (19.66%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (58.64%)
  • Artificial intelligence (9.15%)
  • Neuroimaging (7.80%)

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

Leslie G. Ungerleider mainly investigates Neuroscience, Artificial intelligence, Neuroimaging, Macaque and Cognitive psychology. Her Amygdala, Visual cortex, Face perception, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Superior temporal sulcus study are her primary interests in Neuroscience. Leslie G. Ungerleider has researched Visual cortex in several fields, including Prefrontal cortex and Intraparietal sulcus.

Her Artificial intelligence study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Computer vision and Pattern recognition. Her studies deal with areas such as Cortical surface, Body language and Primate as well as Macaque. Her study in Cognitive psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pareidolia and Perception.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • An Open Resource for Non-human Primate Imaging (110 citations)
  • A population MRI brain template and analysis tools for the macaque (97 citations)
  • Accelerating the Evolution of Nonhuman Primate Neuroimaging (45 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognition

Leslie G. Ungerleider mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Neuroimaging, Visual cortex, Amygdala and Face perception. In her work, Leslie G. Ungerleider performs multidisciplinary research in Neuroscience and Civet. Her studies examine the connections between Neuroimaging and genetics, as well as such issues in Macaque, with regards to Segmentation, Artificial intelligence, Visualization and Pattern recognition.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Prefrontal cortex and Intraparietal sulcus. Leslie G. Ungerleider studied Face perception and Eye movement that intersect with Salience, Face, Face detection and Pareidolia. Her studies deal with areas such as Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, Frontal lobe, Orbitofrontal cortex and Brain mapping as well as Visual system.
