معرفی
Christian Luhmann is an Associate Professor of Cognitive Science at Stony Brook University. His academic roles include positions in the Department of Psychology, Department of Computer Science, Institute for Advanced Computational Science, and Institute for Engineering-Driven Medicine. He holds a PhD from Vanderbilt University (2006) and completed a postdoc at Yale Medical School. His research focuses on decision-making processes, learning mechanisms, and computational modeling, employing methods like EEG, fMRI, and agent-based simulations. Current projects explore how decision-makers handle uncertainty and incomplete information in contexts like economic choices and perceptual judgments.
Notable contributions include studies on group decision-making dynamics, the neural bases of temporal discounting, and the role of anxiety in perceptual processing. He has secured NIH funding for collaborative research on fetal heart rate monitoring and co-edited a special issue on Group Decision Making in Cognitive Research. His work has been published in journals such as Psychological Science, Journal of Experimental Psychology, and NeuroImage.
Dr. Luhmann advises multiple PhD students in cognitive science and social psychology, with research themes spanning social learning, computational modeling, and applied neuroscience. His lab investigates topics like altruistic behavior contagion in networks and the transmission of collective memories.
