Portrait of Henryk Bukowski, researcher in Empathy and Theory of Mind (or mentalzing).
In a few words, I am…
  • a professor of psychometrics at UCLouvain (Belgium) since 2021
  • a trained neuropsychologist (Master 2009 & PhD 2014, grades >80%)
  • a researcher studying perspective taking, empathy, mentalizing, and selk-knowledge
  • passionately curious about the world, people, and their sciences
  • a father trying to make a better world for his sons and future generations

My research projects are...
Scientific study of self-other distinction (or self-other control, self-other differentiation) in empathy and Theory of Mind (or mentalizing).
Deconstructing Self-Other Distinction
Scientific study of perspective taking by inspecting how emotions, priming, and other situational factors influence participants' proneness to be egocentric or altercentric, or to be strongly biased by interfering perspectives.
Shifting from egocentric to altercentric and more
Beyond poor and good performance in empathy and perspective-taking
Self-knowledge to know others
Self-Other understanding in clinical populations
Large scale perspective-taking training intervention

As a researcher, I am…
  • using and refining methods of cognitive psychology and neurosciences
  • examining situational and individual factors of social and differential psychology
  • testing across clinical populations how social cognition relates to mental health
  • developping internet-based solutions for large-scale performance-based testing
  • always eager to collaborate, open to share my data, and willing to learn new methods
