What do we pay attention to?

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

How are memories formed and retrieved?

Why do we forget some memories?

​

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).

​

Two (modestly) paid research assistant positions are available for Sabancı University students. Get in touch with Dr. Günseli if you are interested.

We need volunteers to participate in online studies. Please get in touch with us if you are interested in participating!
