Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Surgery

Robert R. Goodman spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Epilepsy, Electroencephalography, Epilepsy surgery and Ictal. The various areas that Robert R. Goodman examines in his Neuroscience study include Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, White matter and Cell biology. His studies deal with areas such as California Verbal Learning Test, Verbal memory and Randomized controlled trial, Surgery as well as Epilepsy.

The concepts of his Electroencephalography study are interwoven with issues in Neocortex and Photic Stimulation. His study focuses on the intersection of Epilepsy surgery and fields such as Anesthesia with connections in the field of Major depressive disorder, Electroconvulsive therapy, Treatment-resistant depression, Bipolar disorder and Tolerability. The various areas that Robert R. Goodman examines in his Ictal study include Brain mapping and Penumbra.

His most cited work include:

  • Electrical stimulation of the anterior nucleus of thalamus for treatment of refractory epilepsy (1022 citations)
  • Mechanisms Underlying Selective Neuronal Tracking of Attended Speech at a “Cocktail Party” (513 citations)
  • Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS™) for treatment-resistant depression: Efficacy, side effects, and predictors of outcome (409 citations)

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

Robert R. Goodman focuses on Neuroscience, Surgery, Epilepsy, Anesthesia and Epilepsy surgery. Many of his research projects under Surgery are closely connected to Deep brain stimulation with Deep brain stimulation, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His work on Subthalamic nucleus as part of general Deep brain stimulation study is frequently connected to Stimulation, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

When carried out as part of a general Epilepsy research project, his work on Temporal lobe is frequently linked to work in Responsive neurostimulation device, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. While the research belongs to areas of Anesthesia, Robert R. Goodman spends his time largely on the problem of Baclofen, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Muscle relaxant. His study in Epilepsy surgery is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Brain stimulation, Quality of life, Resection and Retrospective cohort study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (35.71%)
  • Surgery (30.61%)
  • Epilepsy (31.63%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Neuroscience (35.71%)
  • Ictal (11.22%)
  • Law (5.10%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Ictal, Law, Epilepsy and Brain mapping. In the field of Neuroscience, his study on Neuromodulation and partial seizures overlaps with subjects such as Closed loop, In patient and Responsive neurostimulation. The concepts of his Ictal study are interwoven with issues in Rhythm, Epilepsy surgery and Penumbra.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Intracranial eeg, Resection, Surgery, Retrospective cohort study and Receiver operating characteristic in addition to Epilepsy surgery. Robert R. Goodman studies Epilepsy, focusing on Seizure activity in particular. His research integrates issues of Face perception, Electroencephalography, Perceptual Disorders, Psychophysics and Local field potential in his study of Brain mapping.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Mechanisms Underlying Selective Neuronal Tracking of Attended Speech at a “Cocktail Party” (513 citations)
  • Ictal high frequency oscillations distinguish two types of seizure territories in humans. (126 citations)
  • Seizure localization using ictal phase-locked high gamma: A retrospective surgical outcome study (61 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Law

Neuroscience, Visual perception, Electroencephalography, Ictal and Epilepsy surgery are his primary areas of study. His work on Brain mapping, Visual N1 and N2pc as part of general Neuroscience study is frequently linked to Poison control and Context, bridging the gap between disciplines. His work carried out in the field of Visual perception brings together such families of science as fMRI adaptation, Visual cortex, Local field potential and Face perception.

His Electroencephalography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Surgery, Resection, Retrospective cohort study and Receiver operating characteristic. His studies in Ictal integrate themes in fields like Odds ratio, Rhythm and Penumbra. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Epilepsy surgery and Multielectrode array in his work.
