Nihan Alp

Principle Investigator

Nihan Alp holds a BA in psychology, an MSc in cognitive neuroscience, and a Ph.D. in psychology (KU Leuven-Belgium). Before joining Sabancı University, she worked in various labs with pioneers in the field. Her research interest lies in the midst of low and high-level vision (grouping, figure-ground organization, depth, shape, and motion perception), but also stretches out to high-level vision (object recognition, social interaction). In addition to classical methodological approaches such as psychophysics and neuroimaging, she also uses the “frequency tagging technique” as a way of measuring integration processes. Additionally, she is a true nature lover, and she enjoys every bit of sunset watching and camping by the creek site.
