Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

Neuroscience, Eye movement, Saccadic masking, Superior colliculus and Primate are his primary areas of study. His work in the fields of Neuroscience, such as Motor control and Stimulus, intersects with other areas such as Motor cortex and Supplementary motor area. His Eye movement research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Electrophysiology, Visual attention, Orienting system, Posner cueing task and Neurochemical.

His Saccadic masking research incorporates themes from Superior Colliculi, Visual system, Visual perception and Inhibition of return. His Primate study incorporates themes from Color vision, Dichromacy, Trichromacy and Photopigment. Petroc Sumner interconnects Evolutionary biology, Old World, Lophocebus albigena and Cercopithecus ascanius in the investigation of issues within Dichromacy.

His most cited work include:

  • The reliability paradox: Why robust cognitive tasks do not produce reliable individual differences. (342 citations)
  • The association between exaggeration in health related science news and academic press releases: retrospective observational study. (263 citations)
  • Human Medial Frontal Cortex Mediates Unconscious Inhibition of Voluntary Action (250 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Saccadic masking, Cognition and Stimulus. He has researched Neuroscience in several fields, including Subliminal stimuli and Communication. His work in the fields of Visual search overlaps with other areas such as Afterimage.

Petroc Sumner combines subjects such as Saccade, Neurophysiology and Gaze with his study of Saccadic masking. His work on Task switching, Elementary cognitive task and Lexical decision task is typically connected to Control as part of general Cognition study, connecting several disciplines of science. In Stimulus, Petroc Sumner works on issues like Supplementary eye field, which are connected to Posterior parietal cortex.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (40.00%)
  • Cognitive psychology (31.67%)
  • Saccadic masking (22.50%)

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

  • Cognitive psychology (31.67%)
  • Cognition (18.33%)
  • Press release (5.83%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Press release, Demography and Control. His work deals with themes such as Perception, Intelligence quotient, Impulsivity and Personality, which intersect with Cognitive psychology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Artificial neural network, Saccadic masking and Saccade in addition to Cognition.

His studies in Demography integrate themes in fields like Cohort and Confidence interval. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Quality of life and Software engineering. Premovement neuronal activity is a primary field of his research addressed under Neuroscience.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Claims of causality in health news: a randomised trial (19 citations)
  • Cognitive control and automatic interference in mind and brain: A unified model of saccadic inhibition and countermanding. (10 citations)
  • The association between exaggeration in health-related science news and academic press releases: a replication study. (7 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Artificial intelligence

Petroc Sumner mainly focuses on Cognition, Press release, Social psychology, Cognitive psychology and Psychological intervention. His Cognition study combines topics in areas such as Reliability and Saccadic masking. Petroc Sumner integrates many fields, such as Press release and engineering, in his works.

The Openness to experience research he does as part of his general Social psychology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Health related, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Cognitive psychology research incorporates elements of Saccade, Eye movement and Conceptualization. He regularly ties together related areas like Demography in his Psychological intervention studies.
