My master's thesis work is published in the @BrainStrucFunc ! 🥳
We've found that the movement direction of naturalistic actions is broadly represented in the brain using MVPA and RSA.🧠

Beynimiz robotları “canlı” mı sanıyor?

🤖 Yapay zekâ artık sadece bir makine mi, yoksa beynimiz ona insani özellikler mi yüklüyor?
🔎 Bilim, sosyal robotların nasıl“canlı”algılandığını ortaya çıkarıyor

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.
