Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Cognition
Neuroscience
Artificial intelligence

Empathy, Anterior cingulate cortex, Insular cortex, Pain empathy and Brain mapping are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dissociation, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Neuroscience and Clinical psychology. The Functional magnetic resonance imaging study which covers Posterior parietal cortex that intersects with Neural correlates of consciousness.

Xiaosi Gu interconnects Fibromyalgia, Feeling, Functional neuroimaging and Generalizability theory in the investigation of issues within Clinical psychology. His Brain mapping research includes elements of Cerebral cortex, Consciousness, Cognitive psychology and Emotion awareness. When carried out as part of a general Cognitive psychology research project, his work on Sensory system is frequently linked to work in Alert state, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His most cited work include:

Anterior Insular Cortex and Emotional Awareness (354 citations)
Anterior Insular Cortex and Emotional Awareness (354 citations)
Attention and reality constraints on the neural processes of empathy for pain. (273 citations)

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

Xiaosi Gu spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Insular cortex, Insula and Functional magnetic resonance imaging. His work on Addiction and Striatum as part of general Neuroscience study is frequently linked to Autonomic nervous system, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research in Cognitive psychology tackles topics such as Cognition which are related to areas like Personality, Attention network and Sensory system.

The concepts of his Insular cortex study are interwoven with issues in Anterior cingulate cortex, Neuroimaging and Empathy. His Anterior cingulate cortex research focuses on subjects like Brain mapping, which are linked to Frontal lobe and Social psychology. His work carried out in the field of Empathy brings together such families of science as Cerebral cortex, Dissociation, Laterality and Clinical psychology.

He most often published in these fields:

Neuroscience (52.75%)
Cognitive psychology (43.96%)
Insular cortex (42.86%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

Neuroscience (52.75%)
Chronic cocaine (4.40%)
Abstinence (4.40%)

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

Xiaosi Gu mainly focuses on Neuroscience, Chronic cocaine, Abstinence, Insula and Anterior cingulate cortex. Xiaosi Gu does research in Neuroscience, focusing on Dynamic causal modelling specifically. His Chronic cocaine research incorporates themes from Insular cortex and Ventral striatum.

Xiaosi Gu combines subjects such as Machine learning, Linear model, Interpretability, Neuroimaging and Precuneus with his study of Anterior cingulate cortex. His Globus pallidus study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Indirect pathway of movement, Cognition and Association.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Containment of future waves of COVID-19: simulating the impact of different policies and testing capacities for contact tracing, testing, and isolation. (4 citations)
An insula-driven network computes decision uncertainty and promotes abstinence in chronic cocaine users. (2 citations)
An insula-driven network computes decision uncertainty and promotes abstinence in chronic cocaine users (1 citations)
