Daniel Bar­ratt

I have a background in the fields of film, philosophy, and cognitive science. I wrote my Ph.D. thesis on cognitive film theory (University of Kent, UK, and the University of California Santa Barbara, USA; completed 2005) and have worked as a postdoc in experimental cognitive psychology at the University of Copenhagen (2006-2009), Copenhagen Business School (2009-2013), and Lund University, Sweden (2012-2013). My research interests include visual communication and film, visual attention and eye movements, theories and models of emotion, and evolutionary and cultural influences on cognitive processes. I am the director of CogLab, a facility for conducting experimental research based at MSC. 

I currently teach and coordinate an elective course on Visual Communication (HA-MAK, Autumn semester) and a core course on Communicating Complex Data and Knowledge (HA-MAK, Spring semester). I also coordinate a core course on Cognitive Psychology (HA-psyk., Autumn semester).
