Corbetta has discovered networks of the human brain that control attention and their alterations in pathology; the spatiotemporal organization of spontaneous activity across the brain using different imaging modalities (fMRI, EEG/MEG, LFPs) and models (human, monkeys); and, the effect of focal lesions on human brain networks to explain behavioral deficits and their recovery.
