معرفی
Michał Kuniecki is an Associate Professor at Jagiellonian University's Faculty of Philosophy, Institute of Psychology, Department of Psychophysiology, where he directs the Emotion and Perception Lab. Holding a PhD from Radboud University (2003), he specializes in the interplay between emotional responses and visual processing mechanisms.
Education:
- PhD, Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands (2003)
Research Focus: His work investigates how semantic and formal features of visual stimuli engage spatial attention and elicit emotional responses using psychophysiological methods including EEG, fMRI, eye tracking, pupillary response, and heart rate monitoring. Key research areas encompass natural scene perception, emotional authenticity in visual media, and neural correlates of visual fixation.
Research Projects: He leads multiple nationally funded initiatives:
- Is it fake? How meaning, attention, and emotions shape the perceived authenticity of journalistic photos (National Science Center, 2021–2025)
- Brain correlates of visual fixation: the role of valence, arousal and visual salience (National Science Centre, 2018–2022)
- International PhD Program in Cognitive Neuroscience (National Centre for Research and Development, 2019–2023)
- International doctoral studies in social-cognitive-neuroscience: CogNeS (National Centre for Research and Development, 2018–2022)
Laboratory: The Emotion and Perception Lab employs advanced psychophysiological techniques to study emotion-perception interactions, with current work emphasizing visual authenticity assessment and attentional mechanisms.
