The SATIS project
The SATIS Project stands for Affective stimuli and social information processing (or in French Stimuli Affectifs et Traitement de l’Information Sociale). The aim of this research project is to shed light on how the presence of affective stimuli in the environment influences the way people feel, process incoming information, form judgment, and behave in social settings.
