Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Internal medicine

Her primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Magnetoencephalography, Motor cortex, Cortex and Somatosensory system. Primary motor cortex, Human brain, Mirror neuron, Posterior parietal cortex and Cerebral cortex are among the areas of Neuroscience where the researcher is concentrating her efforts. Her study in Magnetoencephalography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Audiology, Auditory cortex, Rhythm, Mu wave and Brain mapping.

In Motor cortex, Riitta Hari works on issues like Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, which are connected to Beta wave, Biological neural network, Beta and Beta Rhythm. Her work deals with themes such as Cortical rhythms, Interstimulus interval, Frontal lobe, Index finger and Temporal lobe, which intersect with Cortex. Her Somatosensory system research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Somatosensory evoked magnetic fields, Median nerve, Sensory stimulation therapy, Stimulation and Somatosensory evoked potential.

Her most cited work include:

  • Magnetoencephalography—theory, instrumentation, and applications to noninvasive studies of the working human brain (3842 citations)
  • Activation of human primary motor cortex during action observation: A neuromagnetic study (826 citations)
  • Spatiotemporal characteristics of sensorimotor neuromagnetic rhythms related to thumb movement. (683 citations)

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

Riitta Hari focuses on Neuroscience, Magnetoencephalography, Audiology, Somatosensory system and Auditory cortex. Her research brings together the fields of Rhythm and Neuroscience. Riitta Hari focuses mostly in the field of Magnetoencephalography, narrowing it down to matters related to Primary motor cortex and, in some cases, Mirror neuron.

Her Somatosensory system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Somatosensory evoked potential, Sensory stimulation therapy, Posterior parietal cortex and Anatomy. Her Auditory cortex research incorporates elements of Lateralization of brain function, Mismatch negativity, Electrophysiology and Sensory system. Her Motor cortex study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Electromyography and Isometric exercise.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (67.33%)
  • Magnetoencephalography (55.32%)
  • Audiology (21.88%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Neuroscience (67.33%)
  • Magnetoencephalography (55.32%)
  • Brain activity and meditation (7.09%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Magnetoencephalography, Brain activity and meditation, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Communication. Somatosensory system, Perception, Motor cortex, Sensory system and Human brain are among the areas of Neuroscience where Riitta Hari concentrates her study. The concepts of her Magnetoencephalography study are interwoven with issues in Proprioception, Speech recognition, Cortex and Audiology.

Her Brain activity and meditation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Valence, Posterior cingulate, Speech perception, Precuneus and Brain mapping. Her study on Functional magnetic resonance imaging also encompasses disciplines like

  • Cognitive psychology and related Visual cortex,
  • Cognition that intertwine with fields like Psychosis. The Communication study which covers Social relation that intersects with Social perception and Cognitive science.

Between 2011 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Bodily maps of emotions (361 citations)
  • Emotions promote social interaction by synchronizing brain activity across individuals. (299 citations)
  • Naturalistic FMRI mapping reveals superior temporal sulcus as the hub for the distributed brain network for social perception. (243 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Internal medicine

Riitta Hari spends much of her time researching Neuroscience, Magnetoencephalography, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Brain activity and meditation and Communication. Riitta Hari integrates Neuroscience with Endogenous opioid in her research. Her studies in Magnetoencephalography integrate themes in fields like Proprioception, Speech recognition, Cortex and Audiology.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Visual perception, Disgust, Gesture and Fusiform face area. Her research integrates issues of Social relation, Speech processing, Artificial intelligence and Auditory cortex in her study of Communication. The study incorporates disciplines such as Sensory system and Thalamus in addition to Somatosensory system.
