Psychology should also reveal physiological findings in parallel with psychological measurement tools. When studies progress in this way, Psychological Science can catch up with our era. From this point of view, although clinical psychology is the most important center of mental health, we have also established a special area to conduct neuropsychological studies in our IGU laboratories. With the EEG device, our teachers, especially our students, who need this device for writing thesis, will be able to apply it with their advisors. Our undergraduate students will also have the opportunity to experience the research by participating in the research in this laboratory together with their lecturers.”

It is of great importance that we will have the opportunity to work in the psychology laboratory in new projects. This situation will create an opportunity for the implementation of many new experiential projects in the field of trauma. More importantly, we learned that we can see the improvement and change in the brain through the EEG device of the application studies that can be done for some parts of the brain damaged in neurological diseases. In addition to the grief and trauma that we are currently working on, we decided to design a study as soon as possible to improve areas such as memory, attention and focus in individuals with cancer and MS.
