His primary scientific interests are in Action, Cognitive psychology, Communication, Social psychology and Object. His Action study which covers Task that intersects with Information processing. His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Motor control, Autism, Robotic arm, Eye movement and Priming.
His Communication research incorporates themes from Thumb, Object, Artificial intelligence, Index finger and Computer vision. The concepts of his Object study are interwoven with issues in Nonverbal communication, Cognition, Neuroimaging, Task analysis and Flexibility. His Cognition research is classified as research in Neuroscience.
His scientific interests lie mostly in Cognitive psychology, Neuroscience, Communication, Action and Artificial intelligence. His Cognitive psychology research includes elements of Social psychology, Perception, Gaze, Cognition and Object. His research in Neuroscience intersects with topics in Premotor cortex and Primary motor cortex.
His Communication study also includes fields such as
Cognitive psychology, Neuroscience, Action, Cognition and Functional magnetic resonance imaging are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Cognitive psychology brings together such families of science as Gaze, Communication, Task, Facilitation and Prehensile tail. His Neuroscience study incorporates themes from Tractography, Primary motor cortex and Mirroring.
His work investigates the relationship between Action and topics such as Cued speech that intersect with problems in Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, Cognitive neuroscience, Voluntary action and Flexibility. His research integrates issues of Developmental psychology, Dopaminergic and Disease, Parkinson's disease in his study of Cognition. His studies deal with areas such as Mirror neuron, Binge eating, Neuroimaging and Impulsivity as well as Functional magnetic resonance imaging.
His primary areas of study are Neuroscience, Motor system, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Cognitive psychology and Action. His Neuroscience research incorporates elements of Tractography and Primary motor cortex. In his study, Communication, Action observation, Mirroring and Index finger is inextricably linked to Facilitation, which falls within the broad field of Motor system.
His study on Functional magnetic resonance imaging also encompasses disciplines like
