The TÜBİTAK-supported neuromodulation research project, led by Prof. Dr. Ayşe Ayçiçeği Dinn, has been completed.

July 27, 2026

The research titled “Does Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Improve Our Ability to Solve the 9-Point Problem?”, supported by the TÜBİTAK 1002-A Program and led by Prof. Dr. Ayşe Ayçiçeği Dinn, a faculty member of the Psychology Department at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, has been successfully completed.

This study, conducted within the Atlas Psychology Laboratory and involving laboratory researchers Wayne Dinn and Dr. Fatma Göral, along with Prof. Dr. Sacit Karamürsel from Koç University and fellow Burçak Tutku Çağlayan, fills a significant gap in the literature regarding the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDAU), a non-invasive brain stimulation technology, on neuroprocesses. The research findings are of great value in understanding the limitations of neuromodulation technologies in improving individuals' problem-solving abilities and in highlighting the importance of "replication" studies in the scientific world.

As multidisciplinary research at the intersection of neuroscience and psychology increases significantly every day, we at Atlas Psychology Laboratory will continue to conduct research in this field. We congratulate project leader Prof. Dr. Ayşe Ayçiçeği Dinn and the entire research team for their project.
