Perceptual Neuroscience Lab
Welcome to the Perceptual Neuroscience Lab at 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.
