2014 - Troland Research Awards, United States National Academy of Sciences For discovering the part of the human brain specialized for understanding what other people are thinking.
Rebecca Saxe spends much of her time researching Cognitive psychology, Theory of mind, Neuroscience, Social cognition and Cognition. The concepts of her Cognitive psychology study are interwoven with issues in Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Posterior cingulate and Prefrontal cortex. Her Prefrontal cortex study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Parietal lobe and Precuneus.
Her work carried out in the field of Theory of mind brings together such families of science as Social psychology, Action, Social perception, Temporoparietal junction and Morality. Her research in Social cognition intersects with topics in Watson, Test, Cognitive science and Frontal cortex. In the subject of general Cognition, her work in Cognitive development is often linked to Rational planning model, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
Cognitive psychology, Theory of mind, Cognition, Social psychology and Developmental psychology are her primary areas of study. Her Cognitive psychology research integrates issues from Attribution, Perception, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Prefrontal cortex and Social cognition. Her Social cognition research incorporates themes from Functional neuroimaging and Superior temporal sulcus.
In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Theory of mind, Cognitive neuroscience is strongly linked to Cognitive science. Her Cognition research includes elements of Machine learning, Neuroimaging and Artificial intelligence. Her Developmental psychology research focuses on subjects like Social relation, which are linked to Isolation and Social cue.
Her main research concerns Cognitive psychology, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Theory of mind, Neuroscience and Social relation. Her Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Perception, Action, Imitation, Face and Variety. She combines subjects such as Developmental psychology, Feeling and Ventromedial prefrontal cortex with her study of Functional magnetic resonance imaging.
Her Theory of mind research is under the purview of Cognition. Her work on Prefrontal cortex, Sensory system and Brain mapping as part of general Neuroscience research is frequently linked to Common view, bridging the gap between disciplines. Rebecca Saxe interconnects Perspective and Social cognition in the investigation of issues within Human brain.
Her primary areas of investigation include Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Craving, Isolation, Social isolation and Social cue. Her research integrates issues of Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology, Child development, Feeling and Self in her study of Functional magnetic resonance imaging. Rebecca Saxe performs integrative study on Cognitive psychology and Value in her works.
Her Feeling study combines topics in areas such as Anticipation, Theory of mind, Cognition and Narrative. Rebecca Saxe integrates Theory of mind with Social change in her study. Her study on Craving is intertwined with other disciplines of science such as Social relation, Midbrain, Social environment, Neuroscience and Brain mapping.
