Chris Paffen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Utrecht University's Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences. His position combines teaching, research, and management duties within the Experimental Psychology program. He is also associated with the Helmholtz Institute, focusing on experimental approaches to visual perception and cognition.
Dr. Paffen received his PhD in 2004 and has since established himself as a prominent researcher in visual perception. His research spans multiple areas of experimental psychology with particular emphasis on visual perception, time perception, consciousness, and psychophysics. His recent work has expanded into human-centered artificial intelligence, examining how cognitive principles can inform AI development.
Paffen's extensive publication record demonstrates consistent research productivity, with over 155 research outputs spanning two decades. His work primarily investigates visual working memory, binocular rivalry, attention mechanisms, and the relationship between visual perception and consciousness. Recent publications show increasing focus on memory dynamics, temporal processing, and the neural mechanisms underlying visual awareness.
As an educator, Paffen teaches across multiple programs including Applied Cognitive Psychology, Artificial Intelligence, Psychology, and Neuroscience and Cognition at undergraduate, graduate, and post-master levels. His teaching portfolio includes courses such as Cognition and Behavior and Sensation and Perception, reflecting his research expertise.
His laboratory work appears to focus on experimental paradigms related to visual perception, with particular attention to binocular rivalry, continuous flash suppression, and visual working memory paradigms. His research often involves collaborations with colleagues at Utrecht University and international institutions, as evidenced by his co-authored publications.
