Attention prioritizes relevant information from the environment, but does not do so consistently over time. Instead, we sometimes experience poor attentional states which are characterized by a higher...

Are you interested in understanding how attention shapes what we see? Would you like to combine behavioural experiments, psychophysics, and eye tracking to uncover how the brain selects and prioritise...

Memories tend to form networks that reflect relationships between experiences. These networks, or cognitive graphs, have been used to study how struct…

Abstract Sustained attention is notoriously difficult to maintain over time, with attentional lapses emerging rapidly during prolonged tasks. Motivation has been identified as a key factor in reducing...

Biased information processing plays an important role in mental disorders. This study investigates choice biases in value-based decision making and how links to psychological resilience are related to...

Memory, Attention, & Cognitive Control Lab at Sabancı University - Eren Günseli. We study how memory and attention interact, how humans control what to remember, what to forget, what to attend to, and...

Human motivation is fundamentally shaped by one's expectations of the reward they could earn for good performance or the punishment they would avoid for poor performance. However, the extent to which ...

Mind blanking (MB) is a mental state of seemingly no reportable thought content. The question of how we can entertain no thoughts while awake is challenging for the study of spontaneous thinking. By c...

Distraction is a universal feature of human cognition, yet the reasons why it occurs remain poorly understood. Theories of sustained attention often point to failures of cognitive control in maintaini...
