Experience and Education
-
2023 - Present PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience
Radboud University, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Netherlands - Investigating the neurocomputational mechanisms underlying tactile localization in external space.
-
2020 - 2023 M.S. in Neuroscience
Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey - Effects of Prior Information on Biological Motion Perception
- Designed and implemented an EEG experiment. Collected EEG data from over 30 participants and trained interns on EEG and behavioral data collection.
- Analyzed EEG data using univariate and multivariate techniques such as temporal decoding and temporal generalization with MNE-Python.
- Temporal Characteristics of Agent Perception
- Explored the interaction of prior and visual information on the temporal dimension of agent perception using RSA and multiple linear regression on EEG data.
- Effects of Prior Information on Biological Motion Perception
-
2015 - 2020 B.S. in Computer Science
Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey
