Dr. M.Sc. Belkis Ezgi Arikan

I am working for the PACT project. I received my B.Sc. in Psychology from Middle East Technical University, and my M.Sc. in Experimental Psychology from Hacettepe University.

My dissertation research investigated the behavioral mechanisms and neural correlates of perceiving the consequences of voluntary movements. Using psychophysical and brain imaging methods, I study how we combine and predict the multisensory consequences of our own actions.
