Cemre Yılmaz
Researcher
I am currently a pre-doc researcher at the University of Graz, AT. My research interests include population receptive fields, binocular rivalry, and modeling visual perception. I worked on understanding human perception using different techniques. To get a deeper understanding, I participated in and organized several events under the roof of Dusunbil Publishing and became a team member in the company. I am a research geek reading and exploring science and tech.
