I am starting my Biomedical Engineering PhD at Middle East Technical University

I have completed my Master’s degree and presented my thesis titled “Identification of Neuro-Cognitive Biomarkers of Sarcopenia Using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Machine Learning”

I have completed the oral presentation of our project "ECoGVis-Net: Deep Learning-Based Visual Stimulus Classification", at the 23rd National Neuroscience Congress held at Dokuz Eylul University.

First citation!
A conference paper written by the senior project team I assisted got its first citation.

Thank you for making experimenting easier!

The Beer-Lambert Law is fundamental to fNIRS but requires modifications to account for scattering in tissue.

My latest Medium story explores the MBLL and its role in neuroimaging.

I wrote a short piece on fNIRS, its basics, how it compares to EEG/fMRI, and its growing role in research. Would love to hear your thoughts! 🧠

Hello! I’m Bora, a Biomedical Engineering MSc student researching fNIRS-based neuroimaging for #sarcopenia classification.

I’m interested in cognitive neuroscience and brain-computer interfaces.

I’m looking forward to connect with researchers in #neuroimaging, #BCI, and #neuroscience

Does the culture you grow up in shape the way you see the world? In a new Psych Review paper, @chazfirestone.bsky.social & I tackle this centuries-old question using the Müller-Lyer illusion as a case study. Come think through one of history's mysteries with us🧵(1/13):

Just came across this cool research on biohybrid neural interfaces, using living neurons to connect devices to the brain! It could mean better connections with less damage than traditional methods. Pretty exciting stuff. Check it out:
