Melis Vuslat Tunç

After graduating with honors from Başkent University, Molecular Biology and Genetics; I started my graduate studies in TOBB University of Economics and Technology as a Master of Science candidate in the department of Biomedical Engineering with a full merit scholarship; where I am also a research and education assistant. My graduate research focuses on using EEG and machine learning to analyze the effects of multilingualism on cognitive functions. I am currently working on my Master’s thesis and interested in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, neuroimaging and creating interdisciplinary research between those areas.

I am studying my Master of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering at TOBB University of Economics and Technology. I am doing my research on "Identification of Neuro-Cognitive Markers of Sarcopenia Disease by Using Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy and Artificial Intelligence" project. I am interested in neuroscience, neuroimaging, artificial intelligence and brain-computer interfaces (BCI).

Nur Sena Özdemir

 I graduated from the Biomedical Engineering department of TOBB University of Economics and Technology in 2022.  I am currently a master's student in my own department. I previously studied medical/biological image analysis and biological signal processing as an undergraduate.  My research area in OBRIM is the optimization of motion artefacts in fNIRS signals with semi-supervised approaches.
