dr. MI (Muhammet) Sahan

Biography

I am an Assistant Professor in Brain & Cognition at the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Rotterdam University.

Working memory (WM) and attention are two major conceptual pillars of human cognition, and how they relate to each other is a topic of intense interest at cognitive, neural, and theoretical levels of investigation. My research interests are in the mechanisms underlying perceptual processing and working memory storage of visual, spatial, and verbal information at the behavioral, computational, and neural levels. Moreover, I am interested in how abstract semantic knowledge and temporal information are processed and stored in working memory. Currently, I am emploring how hippocampal mechanisms of spatial navigation are employed in memory search. I investigate these topics using behavioral paradigms, eye-tracking, VR, EEG and fMRI.
