Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Social psychology

His main research concerns Cognitive psychology, Neuroscience, Cognition, Prefrontal cortex and Functional magnetic resonance imaging. His studies deal with areas such as Perception, Sense of agency, Imitation, Executive functions and Attentional control as well as Cognitive psychology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mirror neuron, Cognitive science, Stimulus and Set.

His Mirror neuron study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Premotor cortex, Cognitive imitation and Mentalization. He combines subjects such as Cognitive flexibility, Parietal lobe, Working memory, Task switching and Brain activity and meditation with his study of Prefrontal cortex. He has researched Functional magnetic resonance imaging in several fields, including Developmental psychology and Anterior cingulate cortex.

His most cited work include:

  • Cortical Mechanisms of Human Imitation (2194 citations)
  • Unconscious determinants of free decisions in the human brain (963 citations)
  • Compatibility between observed and executed finger movements: comparing symbolic, spatial, and imitative cues. (598 citations)

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

Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Neuroscience, Action and Perception are his primary areas of study. His Cognitive psychology study combines topics in areas such as Imitation, Social psychology, Working memory and Prefrontal cortex. As part of one scientific family, Marcel Brass deals mainly with the area of Imitation, narrowing it down to issues related to the Mirror neuron, and often Premotor cortex.

His work deals with themes such as Frontal lobe and Brain mapping, which intersect with Prefrontal cortex. His Cognition research includes themes of Developmental psychology, Stimulus and Communication. His Action research incorporates elements of Cognitive science, Cognitive neuroscience and Self-control.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cognitive psychology (65.94%)
  • Cognition (31.87%)
  • Neuroscience (25.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Cognitive psychology (65.94%)
  • Cognition (31.87%)
  • Working memory (10.00%)

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

Marcel Brass focuses on Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Working memory, Theory of mind and Process. Posterior parietal cortex is the focus of his Cognitive psychology research. His research integrates issues of Motor system, Stimulus and Human–computer interaction in his study of Cognition.

His study in Working memory is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Long-term memory and Set. His Theory of mind research incorporates themes from Temporoparietal junction, Neural correlates of consciousness, Depression and Mentalization. His research in Action tackles topics such as Perception which are related to areas like Intentionality.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Defining the neural correlates of spontaneous theory of mind (ToM): An fMRI multi-study investigation. (18 citations)
  • Reaction time indices of automatic imitation measure imitative response tendencies. (13 citations)
  • Attentional prioritization reconfigures novel instructions into action-oriented task sets (12 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Social psychology

His primary areas of investigation include Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Theory of mind, Working memory and Set. Marcel Brass interconnects Neurotypical, Autism and Autism spectrum disorder in the investigation of issues within Cognitive psychology. In the subject of general Cognition, his work in Social cognition is often linked to Race, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

His Social cognition study is concerned with the field of Neuroscience as a whole. His Working memory study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Middle temporal gyrus, Inferior frontal gyrus, Prefrontal cortex, Neural correlates of consciousness and Posterior parietal cortex. His research investigates the connection with Set and areas like Cognitive flexibility which intersect with concerns in Cognitive neuroscience and Cued speech.
