What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Cognition
- Neuroscience
- Functional magnetic resonance imaging
William L. Thompson mainly focuses on Mental image, Cognition, Neuroscience, Visual cortex and Perception.
The study of Mental image is intertwined with the study of Mental representation in a number of ways.
His Cognition study often links to related topics such as Cognitive psychology.
His Cognitive psychology research includes themes of Creative visualization and Neuroimaging.
As part of the same scientific family, William L. Thompson usually focuses on Visual cortex, concentrating on Audiology and intersecting with Cerebral blood flow and Psychiatry.
His Perception study deals with Cortex intersecting with Information processing and Positron emission tomography.
His most cited work include:
- Neural foundations of imagery. (1222 citations)
- The role of area 17 in visual imagery: convergent evidence from PET and rTMS. (606 citations)
- Changes in cortical activity during mental rotation. A mapping study using functional MRI. (592 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Mental image, Cognitive psychology, Neuroscience, Cognition and Auditory imagery.
His Mental image research includes elements of Mental representation, Visual perception, Perception, Artificial intelligence and Visual cortex.
He has included themes like Stimulus, Laterality, Audiology and Information processing in his Perception study.
The Cognitive psychology study combines topics in areas such as Creative visualization and Dissociation.
His research in Cognition intersects with topics in Developmental psychology and Object.
His studies deal with areas such as Long-term memory, Sulcus and Visual memory as well as Auditory imagery.
He most often published in these fields:
- Mental image (61.90%)
- Cognitive psychology (41.27%)
- Neuroscience (38.10%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2017)?
- Cognitive psychology (41.27%)
- Mental image (61.90%)
- Cognition (33.33%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
William L. Thompson mainly investigates Cognitive psychology, Mental image, Cognition, Perception and Auditory imagery.
His Cognitive psychology study combines topics in areas such as Iconic memory, Visual short-term memory, Visual memory and Neuroscience.
His Mental image research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dissociation, Visual search, Mental representation and Communication.
As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Cognition, concentrating on Developmental psychology and frequently concerns with Stimulus, Spatial skills, Elementary cognitive task and Spatial transformation.
His biological study deals with issues like Cognitive neuroscience, which deal with fields such as Cognitive test, Information processing, Personality and Correlation.
William L. Thompson interconnects Creative visualization, Parietal lobe, Postcentral gyrus, N2pc and Long-term memory in the investigation of issues within Auditory imagery.
Between 2006 and 2017, his most popular works were:
- Training generalized spatial skills (157 citations)
- Visual memory and visual mental imagery recruit common control and sensory regions of the brain (69 citations)
- Two Forms of Spatial Imagery: Neuroimaging Evidence (47 citations)
