Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

Stefano Ferraina focuses on Neuroscience, Premotor cortex, Parietal lobe, Frontal lobe and Sensory system. His study in Saccadic masking, Posterior parietal cortex, Superior parietal lobule, Cortex and Eye movement is carried out as part of his Neuroscience studies. His Posterior parietal cortex study incorporates themes from Eye–hand coordination and Anatomy.

He interconnects Brodmann area and Primate in the investigation of issues within Superior parietal lobule. His Premotor cortex research integrates issues from Motor cortex, Neural correlates of consciousness, Electrophysiology and Coordinate system. His Sensory system research incorporates themes from Artificial intelligence and Pattern recognition.

His most cited work include:

  • Cortical Networks for Visual Reaching: Physiological and Anatomical Organization of Frontal and Parietal Lobe Arm Regions (583 citations)
  • Making arm movements within different parts of space: the premotor and motor cortical representation of a coordinate system for reaching to visual targets (454 citations)
  • Representing Spatial Information for Limb Movement: Role of Area 5 in the Monkey (347 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Neuroscience, Premotor cortex, Posterior parietal cortex, Communication and Cognition. Neuroscience is a component of his Cerebral cortex, Cortex, Motor cortex, Parietal lobe and Premovement neuronal activity studies. His work investigates the relationship between Parietal lobe and topics such as Frontal lobe that intersect with problems in Cognitive science, Brain mapping, Primate and Sensory system.

Stefano Ferraina has included themes like Mirror neuron, Representation, Neural variability and Motor program in his Premotor cortex study. His work deals with themes such as Superior parietal lobule, Anatomy, Primary motor cortex, Eye movement and Eye–hand coordination, which intersect with Posterior parietal cortex. His studies in Communication integrate themes in fields like Visual perception, Gaze and Fixation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (72.94%)
  • Premotor cortex (24.71%)
  • Posterior parietal cortex (18.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (72.94%)
  • Premotor cortex (24.71%)
  • Premovement neuronal activity (9.41%)

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

Stefano Ferraina mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Premotor cortex, Premovement neuronal activity, Dorsum and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential. In general Neuroscience, his work in Salience and Neural coding is often linked to Reciprocal and Selection linking many areas of study. His Premotor cortex research incorporates elements of Representation and Cognition.

Stefano Ferraina interconnects Tonic, Physical medicine and rehabilitation and Rating scale in the investigation of issues within Cognition. His research investigates the connection between Dorsum and topics such as Cortex that intersect with issues in Motor plan. As part of one scientific family, Stefano Ferraina deals mainly with the area of Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, narrowing it down to issues related to the Macaque, and often Salient, Response inhibition and Perceptual decision.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Visual salience of the stop signal affects the neuronal dynamics of controlled inhibition (9 citations)
  • High Cervical Spinal Cord Stimulation: A One Year Follow-Up Study on Motor and Non-Motor Functions in Parkinson’s Disease (8 citations)
  • Coding of Self and Other’s Future Choices in Dorsal Premotor Cortex during Social Interaction (6 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Premotor cortex, Primate, Representation and Action. His Salience, Motor cortex and Premovement neuronal activity study in the realm of Neuroscience interacts with subjects such as Stop signal and Neural Inhibition. His Premotor cortex study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Neurophysiology and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential.

His Primate cognition study, which is part of a larger body of work in Primate, is frequently linked to Social relation, bridging the gap between disciplines.
