Our brains have a limited capacity to store information, but how do we manage when faced with a flood of new data? For example, when meeting many new people, do we offload names to long-term memory to make room for more? We're investigating this intriguing question using EEG recordings to uncover the brain's strategies for handling information overload. Contribute to this cutting-edge research and gain hands-on experience in neuroscience. If you're curious about how memory works and eager to explore cognitive research, this project is for you!

- Students are expected to spend at least 6 hours/week. Approximately 4 hours will be spent on data collection, 30 minutes on the weekly project meeting, and 1.5 hours on reading and data analysis.
- Interested students are encouraged to reach out to Eren Günseli to describe what motivates them to participate in this project and their current level of research experience.
