Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

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 most cited work include:

  • The neuroscience of grasping (462 citations)
  • The neuroscience of grasping (462 citations)
  • Temporal dissociation of motor responses and subjective awareness. A study in normal subjects. (298 citations)

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

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

  • Motor control which is related to area like Reach to grasp,
  • Index finger most often made with reference to Thumb. Umberto Castiello combines subjects such as Developmental psychology, Task and Physical medicine and rehabilitation with his study of Action. His Artificial intelligence study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Computer vision.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cognitive psychology (44.21%)
  • Neuroscience (33.54%)
  • Communication (32.32%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Cognitive psychology (44.21%)
  • Neuroscience (33.54%)
  • Action (28.96%)

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

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.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Potential for social involvement modulates activity within the mirror and the mentalizing systems (61 citations)
  • Potential for social involvement modulates activity within the mirror and the mentalizing systems (61 citations)
  • Asymmetry and Structure of the Fronto-Parietal Networks Underlie Visuomotor Processing in Humans (36 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence

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

  • Neuroimaging together with Motor learning, Biological motion, Dissociation, Mirror neuron and Social relation,
  • Stimulus that intertwine with fields like Action planning and Artificial intelligence. His study of Information processing is a part of Cognitive psychology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Disease, Parkinson's disease, Developmental psychology, Social cue and Dopamine in addition to Action.
