Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Auditory cortex, Audiology, Perception and Cognitive psychology. His work in Neuroscience tackles topics such as White matter which are related to areas like Human brain imaging and Structural plasticity. His studies deal with areas such as Planum temporale, Sensory system and Brain mapping as well as Auditory cortex.

Robert J. Zatorre interconnects Pitch Discrimination, Phonetics, Amusia, Temporal lobe and Auditory perception in the investigation of issues within Audiology. His Perception study combines topics in areas such as Laterality, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Cognition and Communication. His Cognitive psychology study also includes fields such as

  • Music psychology and related Active listening, Cognitive science, Dopaminergic and Neurochemical,
  • Cerebral blood flow and related Motor cortex.

His most cited work include:

  • Intensely pleasurable responses to music correlate with activity in brain regions implicated in reward and emotion (1734 citations)
  • Voice-selective areas in human auditory cortex (1367 citations)
  • Lateralization of phonetic and pitch discrimination in speech processing (1311 citations)

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

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Audiology, Auditory cortex, Cognitive psychology and Perception. His study looks at the intersection of Neuroscience and topics like Premotor cortex with Rhythm. His work deals with themes such as Developmental psychology, Communication, Temporal lobe and Auditory perception, which intersect with Audiology.

As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Auditory cortex, concentrating on Auditory system and frequently concerns with Frequency following response. His work in Cognitive psychology covers topics such as Musical which are related to areas like Pleasure and Cognitive science. As part of his studies on Perception, he often connects relevant subjects like Cognition.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (43.43%)
  • Audiology (27.61%)
  • Auditory cortex (26.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (43.43%)
  • Cognitive psychology (27.35%)
  • Auditory cortex (26.54%)

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

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Auditory cortex, Audiology and Pleasure. His Cognitive psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Perception, Musical instrument, Diffusion MRI, Rhythm and Motor control. His Perception research incorporates elements of Neural correlates of consciousness, Melody, Sensory system and Magnetoencephalography.

His study in Auditory cortex is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stimulus, Connectome, Human auditory system, Auditory system and Transcranial direct-current stimulation. He has included themes like White matter, Temporal lobe and Inferior frontal gyrus in his Audiology study. His Pleasure study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Dissociation, Reward system, Musical and Nucleus accumbens.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Assessing Top-Down and Bottom-Up Contributions to Auditory Stream Segregation and Integration With Polyphonic Music (98 citations)
  • Selective Entrainment of Theta Oscillations in the Dorsal Stream Causally Enhances Auditory Working Memory Performance (91 citations)
  • Cortical Correlates of the Auditory Frequency-Following and Onset Responses: EEG and fMRI Evidence. (64 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Frequency following response, Musical and Neuroimaging. His work in the fields of Neuroscience, such as Electroencephalography, Auditory cortex and Dopamine, overlaps with other areas such as Dopamine antagonist and Risperidone. His Cognitive psychology research includes elements of Explained variation, Working memory, Rhythm and Musical instrument.

His Frequency following response research focuses on subjects like Auditory system, which are linked to Magnetoencephalography, Neural correlates of consciousness, Neuroplasticity, Auditory perception and Stimulus. His research investigates the connection between Musical and topics such as Pleasure that intersect with problems in Human brain, Reward sensitivity, Music psychology, Transcranial magnetic stimulation and Stimulation. His study looks at the relationship between Functional magnetic resonance imaging and fields such as Audiology, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
