What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Neuroscience
- Cognition
- Artificial intelligence
Vittorio Gallese focuses on Neuroscience, Mirror neuron, Premotor cortex, Cognitive psychology and Action.
His Mirror neuron research integrates issues from Empathy, Imitation, Cognition and Communication.
His Premotor cortex research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Somatosensory system, Electrophysiology, Inferior frontal gyrus, Neuron and Pain empathy.
Vittorio Gallese combines subjects such as Insula, Language acquisition, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Autism and Disgust with his study of Cognitive psychology.
His research investigates the connection between Action and topics such as Perspective that intersect with issues in Fluency, Control, Perception and Comprehension.
The concepts of his Common coding theory study are interwoven with issues in Mu wave and Auditory perception.
His most cited work include:
- Action recognition in the premotor cortex (3668 citations)
- Premotor cortex and the recognition of motor actions. (3443 citations)
- Neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the understanding and imitation of action. (2488 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Cognitive psychology, Neuroscience, Embodied cognition, Action and Mirror neuron.
His Cognitive psychology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Perception, Cognition, Social cognition, Developmental psychology and Facial expression.
Vittorio Gallese works mostly in the field of Neuroscience, limiting it down to topics relating to Premotor cortex and, in certain cases, Visual perception.
His work in Embodied cognition addresses issues such as Cognitive science, which are connected to fields such as Communication, Empathy and Mechanism.
The Action study combines topics in areas such as Perspective, Rhythm and Comprehension.
His study on Common coding theory is often connected to Attunement as part of broader study in Mirror neuron.
He most often published in these fields:
- Cognitive psychology (62.83%)
- Neuroscience (28.61%)
- Embodied cognition (29.68%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Cognitive psychology, Embodied cognition, Perception, Facial expression and Cognitive science.
The various areas that Vittorio Gallese examines in his Cognitive psychology study include Cognition, Body language, Emotional intensity, Eye tracking and Beauty.
The concepts of his Embodied cognition study are interwoven with issues in Mirror neuron, Aesthetics, Action, Cognitive neuroscience and Psychoanalysis.
His research in Mirror neuron intersects with topics in Human science and Aesthetic theory.
His work in Action addresses subjects such as Rhythm, which are connected to disciplines such as Right hemisphere and Sensorimotor cortex.
His studies in Perception integrate themes in fields like Developmental psychology, Emotional expression, Phenomenology, Salience and Feeling.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
