Prior to her PhD,\u00a0she did her BS in Computer Engineering at Bilkent University, and MS\u00a0in Cognitive Science at Middle East Technical University. Following\u00a0her PhD, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of\u00a0Neuroscience, University of Parma (Italy), with Professor Guy A.\u00a0Orban. Dr. \u00dcrgen\u2019s primary research area is human visual perception\u00a0with a focus on biological motion and action perception. In addition\u00a0to behavioral methods, she uses a wide range of invasive and\u00a0non-invasive neuroimaging techniques including fMRI, EEG, and\u00a0intracranial recordings to study the neural basis of visual\u00a0perception. Her research commonly utilizes state-of-the-art<br \/>\ncomputational techniques including machine learning, computer vision,\u00a0and effective connectivity. Besides her basic cognitive neuroscience\u00a0research, Dr. \u00dcrgen also pursues an interdisciplinary research between\u00a0social robotics and cognitive neuroscience to investigate the human\u00a0factors that lead to successful interaction with artificial agents\u00a0such as robots.<\/p>\n<p>For profile:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/umram.bilkent.edu.tr\/index.php\/teams\/burcu-ayse-urgen\/\">https:\/\/umram.bilkent.edu.tr\/index.php\/teams\/burcu-ayse-urgen\/\u00a0<\/a><br \/>\nPersonal website:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/burcu.urgen.bilkent.edu.tr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=tr&amp;q=http:\/\/burcu.urgen.bilkent.edu.tr&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1537943769046000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHs65i_Ihoj_Upb8gKzi6Gg97mGwQ\">http:\/\/burcu.urgen.bilkent.<wbr \/>edu.tr<\/a><br \/>\nLab website:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccn.bilkent.edu.tr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=tr&amp;q=http:\/\/www.ccn.bilkent.edu.tr&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1537943769046000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEMatfGvslcJNBEcdbONmb3VFjUBg\">http:\/\/www.ccn.bilkent.edu.tr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UMRAM and Bilkent University Department of Psychology has a new faculty member:\u00a0Dr. Burcu Ay\u015fen \u00dcrgen Burcu Ay\u015fen \u00dcrgen received her PhD in Cognitive Science from\u00a0University of California, San Diego (USA) in 2015.
