Tjark Andersen

Tjark Andersen serves as a Guest Researcher in the Department of Food Science at the University of Copenhagen, focusing on psychological and sensory mechanisms in food consumption behavior.

His research spans:

• Consumer Behavior: Investigating how digital representations (e.g., food photography) alter dietary choices
• Sensory Science: Analyzing cross-modal interactions between sound, vision, and taste perception
• Cognitive Psychology: Examining mental imagery's role in satiety through imagined eating paradigms

Recent publications (2021-2023) reveal consistent exploration of cognitive interventions for appetite regulation. Key trends include sensory-specific satiety induction via imagined consumption, environmental sound modulation of food reward pathways, and social media's impact on healthy eating decisions. This work bridges experimental psychology with practical applications in dietary behavior modification.
