Biography

Josefine Andin is a Senior Associate Professor at Linköping University with a focus on neuroscience and disability research.

She investigates how biological, psychological, and social factors contribute to disability from a biopsychosocial perspective, emphasizing the interaction between impairment and the environment. Her work includes research on cognitive demands under challenging conditions, such as auditory and visual noise, and how these factors influence brain function and performance in tasks among deaf individuals. Additionally, she is involved in various PhD projects that analyze the effects of hearing loss on emotional perception and cognitive fatigue.
