Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Perception

Neuroscience, Noxious stimulus, Laser-Evoked Potentials, Evoked potential and Stimulus are his primary areas of study. His studies link Subliminal stimuli with Neuroscience. His Laser-Evoked Potentials study spans across into fields like P3a and Anterior cingulate cortex.

His Evoked potential research includes elements of Sleep in non-human animals, Arousal, Late positive component and Circadian rhythm. His Stimulus research incorporates themes from P3b and Event-related potential. Valéry Legrain has researched Cognition in several fields, including Cognitive psychology, Salience and Perception.

His most cited work include:

  • The pain matrix reloaded: a salience detection system for the body. (549 citations)
  • A neurocognitive model of attention to pain: Behavioral and neuroimaging evidence (292 citations)
  • Attentional modulation of the nociceptive processing into the human brain: selective spatial attention, probability of stimulus occurrence, and target detection effects on laser evoked potentials (234 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Neuroscience, Somatosensory system, Stimulus, Cognitive psychology and Visual perception. While working in this field, Valéry Legrain studies both Neuroscience and Laser-Evoked Potentials. His Somatosensory system research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Somatosensory evoked potential, Proprioception and Central nervous system.

Valéry Legrain has researched Stimulus in several fields, including Second-order stimulus, Subliminal stimuli, Functional electrical stimulation and Audiology. Complex regional pain syndrome is closely connected to Cognition in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Cognitive psychology. His work in the fields of Sensory system, such as Stimulus modality, intersects with other areas such as Nociceptive Stimulus and Visual experience.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (71.92%)
  • Somatosensory system (36.99%)
  • Stimulus (35.62%)

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

  • Neuroscience (71.92%)
  • Perception (20.55%)
  • Visual perception (21.92%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Perception, Visual perception, Stimulus and Audiology. His work on Crossmodal, Stimulus modality and Somatosensory system as part of his general Neuroscience study is frequently connected to Hyperalgesia and Healthy volunteers, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Somatosensory system study combines topics in areas such as Stimulation and Computer vision.

His Stimulus research incorporates elements of Cognitive psychology and Sensory system. His research in Sensory system intersects with topics in Dorsum and Cognition. His study in Audiology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Complex regional pain syndrome and Electroencephalography.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Biased visuospatial perception in complex regional pain syndrome (37 citations)
  • Attention to pain! A neurocognitive perspective on attentional modulation of pain in neuroimaging studies. (29 citations)
  • Orienting attention in visual space by nociceptive stimuli: investigation with a temporal order judgment task based on the adaptive PSI method (20 citations)

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

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognition
  • Perception

Valéry Legrain spends much of his time researching Perception, Visual perception, Stimulus, Cognitive psychology and Neuroscience. Valéry Legrain interconnects Developmental psychology and Affect in the investigation of issues within Perception. The Visual perception study combines topics in areas such as Cognition and Audiology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Visual space and Crossmodal in addition to Stimulus. Stimulus modality, Functional neuroimaging and Neural correlates of consciousness are among the areas of Neuroscience where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His Stimulus modality study incorporates themes from Neurocognitive and Neuroimaging.
