Hatfield’s research expertise is the study of Human Performance (learning motor skills and performing under mental stress) from a neuroscience perspective. He proposed the concept of psychomotor efficiency of brain processes as a theory to explain expert cognitive-motor performance. The research is conducted on populations ranging from athletes to first-responder and military personnel using brain imaging technology to study attention and emotional resilience to stress.
