Marcello Massimini mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Electroencephalography, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Wakefulness and Brain mapping.
His study involves Local sleep, Minimally conscious state, Sleep in non-human animals, Slow-wave sleep and Sleep deprivation, a branch of Neuroscience.
Marcello Massimini has included themes like Posterior cingulate, Middle frontal gyrus, Inferior frontal gyrus and Default mode network in his Electroencephalography study.
Marcello Massimini has researched Transcranial magnetic stimulation in several fields, including Cerebral cortex, Vigilance and Eye movement.
He combines subjects such as Anesthesia and Non-rapid eye movement sleep with his study of Wakefulness.
His Brain mapping research incorporates themes from Electrophysiology, Subliminal stimuli, Temporal lobe and Neuroimaging.
His most cited work include:
- Local sleep and learning (1397 citations)
- Breakdown of cortical effective connectivity during sleep. (1014 citations)
- The sleep slow oscillation as a traveling wave. (772 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Electroencephalography, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Consciousness and Wakefulness.
Non-rapid eye movement sleep, Sleep in non-human animals, Stimulation, Cerebral cortex and Electrophysiology are the subjects of his Neuroscience studies.
His studies deal with areas such as Level of consciousness, Audiology, Brain mapping and Unconsciousness as well as Electroencephalography.
Marcello Massimini focuses mostly in the field of Transcranial magnetic stimulation, narrowing it down to matters related to Frontal lobe and, in some cases, Parietal lobe.
His Consciousness study combines topics in areas such as Cognitive psychology, Cognitive science and Integrated information theory.
The concepts of his Wakefulness study are interwoven with issues in Sleep deprivation, Vigilance, Propofol, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance and Coma.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Electroencephalography, Consciousness, Neuroscience, Transcranial magnetic stimulation and Wakefulness.
His Electroencephalography research integrates issues from Neurophysiology, Audiology, Artificial intelligence and Pattern recognition.
His Consciousness study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cognitive science and Unconsciousness.
His work on Neuroscience deals in particular with Electrophysiology and Stimulation.
His Electrophysiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Lesion, Local sleep, Percolation, Stroke and Neuroplasticity.
His research integrates issues of Internal medicine and Non-rapid eye movement sleep in his study of Wakefulness.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The spectral exponent of the resting EEG indexes the presence of consciousness during unresponsiveness induced by propofol, xenon, and ketamine (42 citations)
- Reproducibility in TMS–EEG studies: A call for data sharing, standard procedures and effective experimental control (36 citations)
- A fast and general method to empirically estimate the complexity of brain responses to transcranial and intracranial stimulations (15 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Neuroscience
- Internal medicine
- Psychiatry
His main research concerns Consciousness, Electroencephalography, Transcranial magnetic stimulation, Wakefulness and Cognitive psychology.
In the field of Consciousness, his study on Persistent vegetative state and Minimally conscious state overlaps with subjects such as Expert group.
In his works, Marcello Massimini undertakes multidisciplinary study on Electroencephalography and Experimental control.
His study in Transcranial magnetic stimulation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pattern recognition, Artificial intelligence and Dimensionality reduction.
His Wakefulness study incorporates themes from Propofol, Sedation, Eye movement and Unconsciousness.
Marcello Massimini interconnects Brain activity and meditation, Disorders of consciousness and Neuroethics in the investigation of issues within Cognitive psychology.
