We have a special guest this week in our journal club, Prof. Samet Bağçe from METU. We’ll have a discussion on neuroscience and philosophy. Come join us!

Bugün CCNLAB'ın yeni yaz stajyerleri ile tanıştım. Burcu Ürgen hocamıza çok teşekkür ediyorum. Müzik algısının bilişsel nörobilimi ve uzamsal ses ortamları üzerine yürüttüğümüz disiplinlerarası projemizin sonraki adımları için oldukça heyecanlıyız! 🧠 🎶

Bilkent Psikoloji yüksek lisans ve doktora programlarıyla ilgilenen ve bu konuda bilgi almak isteyenleri 12 Nisan Cumartesi günü gerçekleşecek olan çevrimiçi tanıtım etkinliğimize bekliyoruz! Etkinliğin kayıt linkine buradan ulaşabilirsiniz esbegradopenhouse.bilkent.edu.tr
Dayanışma sandığında oyumuzu kullandık. Siyasi görüşünüzden bağımsız olarak, daha sandık görmek istiyorsanız bugün sandığa gidiniz.
We have two new lines of research in the lab: One is on audio-visual perception of biological motion & the other is on music perception. The projects involve neuroimaging and pattern analyses. We are looking for enthusiastic grad students (preferably PhD) for both projects.


New preprint from the lab! Predictive processing in the cortical network of biological motion perception: An fMRI-DCM study biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Our lab will be accepting grad students for Fall 2025 as well. Email me for informal inquiries.
