Søren Krogh Andersen

Søren Krogh Andersen is a Professor and Head of Unit in the Department of Psychology at the University of Southern Denmark, where he leads research in Health and Cognitive Psychology. He holds a PhD and is actively engaged in empirical and theoretical research on human visual cognition and attentional mechanisms.

Research Interests:

• Cognitive Neuroscience
• Visual Perception
• Selective Attention
• Feature-based Attention
• Multiple Object Tracking
• Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials (SSVEPs)
• EEG Fingerprinting

His research investigates how attention modulates neural activity in early visual areas, with a focus on the temporal dynamics and spatial distribution of attention across visual features such as color and motion. He uses electrophysiological techniques, particularly EEG, to explore the neural basis of perception and attention.

Recent publications show a consistent trend in studying attentional modulation in the visual cortex, the separation of luminance and contrast signals in SSVEPs, and the enhancement of perceptual abilities in specialized populations such as video game players. His work combines rigorous experimental design with advanced signal analysis to uncover fundamental principles of visual cognition.

Scientific Engagement and Recognition:

• Active contributor to high-impact journals including PNAS, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, and Cerebral Cortex.
• Featured in media outlets such as TV 2 Fyn, indicating public engagement.
• ORCID: 0000-0002-7612-0127
• Research widely accessed on platforms like Mendeley and Pure.

He advises on cognitive neuroscience research and collaborates internationally, though specific students or grant funding are not listed. His work contributes significantly to the understanding of attention and perception, with potential applications in human-computer interaction, clinical psychology, and cognitive training.
