More news from the lab 🤗

New paper alert from the lab! Congrats to Aslı Eroğlu for turning her MS thesis into a great journal paper. In this study, we investigated how the action observation network is modulated by task demands using fMRI, decoding, and RSA. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

And another preprint from the lab! False Memories From Biological Motion Observation osf.io/preprints/psya… via @OsfFramework

Another preprint from the lab! Excellent job (years of work) by Zelal Eltas! Direction Selectivity in Naturalistic Action Observation: Distributed Representations Across the Action Observation Network biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

📢 New preprint from the lab! Great work by my MS student Umur Yıldız 🤓 Multiarrangement: A Plug & Play Geometric Data Collection Package For Video Stimuli biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Quite excited to present at #AESSHOW by @AESorg in California in a week! Our project with @UfukOnen & A.Cakmakci sits at the intersection of audio engineering and cognitive neuroscience, exploring how people perceive & localize musical instruments in Dolby Atmos setups. Join us!

Contact Ronny Rosner if interested in the position at Bilkent Neuroscience!

📣 New paper alert! Neuroarchitecture of aesthetic experience: Investigating brain oscillations for interior spaces with curved boundaries in virtual reality. psycnet.apa.org/record/2026-70…

Ulusal Nörogörüntüleme Kongresi’nde Poster Bildiri Üçüncülük ödülünü alan doktora öğrencimiz Elif Ahsen Çakmakcı’yı tebrik ederiz 🤓

Yapay zeka ve insan-robot etkileşimi üzerine TRT ile belgesel çekimi gerçekleştirdik!

📣 Proud to introduce our brand new collaborative project with @UfukOnen to the world at AES SHOW 2025 (@AESorg) this October in LA! We investigate how well people localize musical instruments rendered in Dolby Atmos from an interdisciplinary perspective 🎶🧠
