Welcome to the Perceptual Neuroscience Lab at TED University! 
We are affiliated with the Psychology Department of TED University. Our research is focused on understanding the intricate processes behind visual perception and decision-making. Our main interest lies in exploring the dynamic interplay between bottom-up and top-down processes that shape how we perceive and make decisions. We specifically investigate how top-down processes such as attention, prior knowledge, and expectations influence perception and decision-making. To achieve this, we use various techniques including psychophysics, computational modeling, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

📢 New Publication: Predictive Processing in Biological Motion Perception
We’re happy to share our latest paper, “Predictive processing in biological motion perception: Evidence from human behavior,” published in Perception.
In this study, we show that moderately reliable action-related expectations can shape how we perceive biological motion. These findings support predictive processing accounts and highlight the role of top-down influences in dynamic social perception.
📢 Our new book chapter is out!
Our latest chapter, "Dikkatin Nöral Mekanizmaları", is now published in Bilişsel İşlevlerin Amaca Yönelik ve Adaptif Boyutları! We examine bottom-up and top-down attention mechanisms, ventral and dorsal networks, and their role in cognition and clinical applications.

📢 Our new book is published!
We’re thrilled to announce the publication of Nörondan Algoritmaya Davranışı Anlamak! Our chapter, "Ön Bilgi ve Beklentilerin Görsel Algı Üzerindeki Etkileri: Davranış ve Hesaplamalı Modeller", explores how expectations shape perception through behavioral findings and computational models.
