Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging

Peter C. Hansen mostly deals with Visual perception, Cognitive psychology, Dyslexia, Cognition and Audiology. Peter C. Hansen mostly deals with Sensory system in his studies of Cognitive psychology. Peter C. Hansen has researched Sensory system in several fields, including Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Frontal lobe.

In his work, Perception is strongly intertwined with Stimulus, which is a subfield of Dyslexia. His work carried out in the field of Cognition brings together such families of science as Developmental psychology and Creativity. While the research belongs to areas of Audiology, Peter C. Hansen spends his time largely on the problem of Phonological awareness, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Developmental dyslexia, Spelling and Dysfunctional family.

His most cited work include:

  • Dynamics of letter string perception in the human occipitotemporal cortex (397 citations)
  • Detection of audio-visual integration sites in humans by application of electrophysiological criteria to the BOLD effect. (383 citations)
  • Detection of audio-visual integration sites in humans by application of electrophysiological criteria to the BOLD effect. (383 citations)

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

Peter C. Hansen focuses on Cognitive psychology, Theory of mind, Neuroscience, Mentalization and Social cognition. Peter C. Hansen is interested in Salience, which is a field of Cognitive psychology. His research in Theory of mind intersects with topics in Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Inferior frontal gyrus, Audiology, Developmental psychology and Temporoparietal junction.

Peter C. Hansen interconnects Posterior cingulate, Empathy, Neural correlates of consciousness, Tourette syndrome and Supramarginal gyrus in the investigation of issues within Audiology. His Mentalization research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Neurotypical, Psychosis and Autism. Peter C. Hansen works on Cognition which deals in particular with Working memory.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Satiation attenuates BOLD activity in brain regions involved in reward and increases activity in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex: an fMRI study in healthy volunteers (43 citations)
  • Perspective-taking abilities in the balance between autism tendencies and psychosis proneness (41 citations)
  • Right lateral cerebellum represents linguistic predictability (31 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging

Peter C. Hansen spends much of his time researching Cognitive psychology, Theory of mind, Mentalization, Psychosis and Autism. His Cognitive psychology research includes elements of Working memory, Cognition, Statement and Comprehension. His work carried out in the field of Theory of mind brings together such families of science as Brain mapping, Audiology, Posterior cingulate, Social cognition and Tourette syndrome.

His Brain mapping study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Temporoparietal junction, Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, Prefrontal cortex, Mental representation and Neuropsychology. Peter C. Hansen has included themes like Empathy and Tics in his Posterior cingulate study. His Psychosis study incorporates themes from Neurotypical, Schizophrenia, Subclinical infection and Depression.
