Fazilet Zeynep Yildirim, M.Sc.
Introduction
Zeynep obtained her M.Sc. in Neuroscience from Bilkent University in 2016. During her Master’s, she investigated the effects of audiovisual associations on visual motion perception using fMRI and EEG methods. Currently, she is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Bern, where she studies diminished visual perception in the crowded peripheral vision. Her Ph.D. work focuses on a novel phenomenon called “redundancy masking” in which entire items within repeating patterns are unavailable for conscious report.
