➜ Developed and implemented scripts using the Python package PsychoPy to conduct behavioral experiments, ensuring accurate data collection and analysis, with plans for future utilization.➜ Assisted in authoring a scientific review paper scheduled for future publication.➜ The project focused on decoding EEG and eye-tracking data to track perceptual states prior to self-reports in multistable perception.

➜ Collaborated on scientific projects culminating in publication within a high-impact journal (iScience); the projects investigated the role of neural plasticity in the medial prefrontal cortex on memory consolidation during sleep and the effect of Cannabidiol in sleep and sleep-like states. ➜ Conducted detailed spectral analysis and processed raw neural data with substantial noise variables using Python and MATLAB, improving data accuracy and reliability. ➜ Performed comprehensive data preprocessing, including Principal Component Analysis (PCA), making the data easier to visualize and analyze.➜ Implemented a Gaussian Mixture Model for data clustering, resulting in more accurate classification of neural data patterns and insights into underlying structures.➜ Created time-frequency representations of data through spectrograms, allowing for better visualization and understanding of neural activity over time.➜ Developed and maintained code scripts, meticulously documented methodological approaches, and presented machine learning and data analytics strategies to the team.

➜ Assisted with Turkish-English translations, attended meetings of the World Association for Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy (WAPP) on behalf of Psychologist Ergün Türkmen, and took notes to be conveyed to Mr. Türkmen; Discussed issues of clients (anonymously) and exchanged opinions.

➜ Organized and arranged lawsuit files; wrote some of the lawsuit application letters; assisted with schedule and appointments.

➜ Explained the rationale and processing steps of multivariate pattern classification applied to EEG data and described how to use it to characterize neural dynamics of auditory, visual, and spatial processing.➜ Assisted with data collection with EEG and an eye-tracking device along with data analysis.

➜ The project aimed to investigate the neural dynamics of audiotactile of real-life stimuli and a bottom-up effect of audiotactile stimuli on auditory segregation in a cocktail-party environment (i.e., congruent auditory and tactile stimuli).➜ Applied linear backward model as a reconstruction method; Used mTRF MATLAB toolbox to reconstruct music features (i.e. envelope and pitch) from EEG data. In detail, the study focused on investigating ⓵ whether congruent audiotactile stimulation has a bottom-up effect on audiotactile integration in a cocktail-party environment (i.e., congruent auditory and tactile stimuli) and ⓶ whether auditory stimulation is affected by tactile stimulation due to temporal frequency connection between auditory and tactile stimuli.

➜ Duplicated a computational study (i.e., Deco, G., Senden, M., & Jirsa, V. (2012). How anatomy shapes dynamics: A semi-analytical study of the brain at rest by a simple spin model, Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 6, 68), accurately replicating the dynamic patterns and confirming the robustness of the model.➜ Generated a neural network for classification using the MNIST dataset of handwritten digits and MATLAB.

➜ Took part in the data collection process by going to high schools and applying questionnaires to students. The research was a BAP (Scientific Research Project) project on the topic of cultural diversity and the effect of cross-cultural interaction on identity confusion.

➜ Assisted with research on the roles of fathers in Turkey in the process of raising a child. Translated English questionnaires to Turkish, recorded videos of fathers and daughters playing together as a part of data collection, applied cognitive tests to children and took part in data analysis.

➜ Had hands-on experience with EEG and fNIRS, and conducted a small experiment with my group. Looked for whether a cognitive task positively or negatively affected the following cognitive tasks.➜ Received education on brain biophysics.
