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.
  • 2015 - 2020
    B.S. in Computer Science
    Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey
