Tuba Aktürk
[email protected]Tuba Aktürk graduated from Istanbul Kültür University, Department of Psychology, in 2015. Following her bachelor's degree, she worked as an intern at the University of Bremen, Institute of Psychology and Cognition Research. After completing the internship, she earned her M.Sc. degree from Istanbul University, Aziz Sancar Institute of Experimental Medicine, Department of Neuroscience, in 2017. After obtaining her master's degree, she commenced work at Istanbul Medipol University, EEG and Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory, supervised by Prof. Dr. Bahar Güntekin. Meanwhile, she began her Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Istanbul Medipol University. Throughout her master's and doctoral education, she participated as a scholarship student in various national and international projects.
In 2022, she concluded her Ph.D. in Neuroscience at Istanbul Medipol University and her cognitive neuroscience Ph.D. at Maastricht University. Her double Ph.D. was co-supervised by Prof. Dr. Bahar Güntekin and Prof. Dr. Alexander Sack.
Currently, she is working at Istanbul Medipol University as an assistant professor. She is continuing her work on the post-effects of neuromodulation on EEG-brain oscillations and cognitive processes, particularly focusing on memory. Her primary research areas encompass EEG-brain oscillations, EEG signal analysis, non-invasive brain stimulation methods, and their impact on cognition.
