Biography

Erkin Asutay is an Associate Professor at Linköping University, specializing in the interplay between affective processes and cognitive functions such as attention and decision-making. His research investigates how emotional responses shape one’s ability to process information and make judgments in complex environments, where constant streams of sensory input can impact affective experiences. The focus of his work includes the integration of affective consequences of various events, such as expectations, uncertainty, and prediction errors, into overall emotional experiences, and how these factors influence decision-making behavior. He aims to further understand the role of emotions in perception across auditory and visual domains. Asutay employs a multi-faceted methodology in his research, incorporating psychophysics, psychophysiology, and computational modeling to glean insights from human emotional and cognitive responses.
