Steven Blurton

Steven Blurton is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Social Sciences, specializing in cognitive psychology with a focus on mathematical modeling of perceptual and decision processes. His research integrates computational approaches with experimental paradigms to investigate fundamental cognitive mechanisms.

Research Interests:

• Visual perception and attention dynamics
• Multisensory integration across auditory and visual domains
• Mathematical modeling of response times and decision-making
• Theory of Visual Attention (TVA) frameworks
• Sequential sampling models for cognitive processes

His recent publications demonstrate an evolving trajectory from foundational work on Wiener diffusion models (2012) toward increasingly sophisticated integrations of response time modeling with multisensory processing and executive function interventions, with significant contributions appearing in Psychological Review, Journal of Mathematical Psychology, and Vision Research. Current research within the KU 2016 "Dynamical Systems" program focuses on unifying accuracy and response time predictions through sequential sampling models.

Key Activities:

• Principal Investigator in the DFF 8018-00014B project "Foundations of Response Time Measurement" (2019-2020)
• Active member of the Center for Visual Cognition research group

His methodological expertise spans computational modeling, experimental design for perceptual tasks, and advanced statistical analysis of cognitive data, with applications spanning basic research and educational interventions.
