Memory, Attention, & Cognitive Control Lab | Istanbul

How and why do we hold information 'in mind'?

Why do we sometimes completely lose track of what we were doing?

How are memories formed, structured, transformed, and retrieved?

What do we pay attention to and why do we get distracted?

We study these questions, and more on the human mind and brain, using behavioral tasks, eye tracking, electroencephalogram (EEG), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
