CV Berk Can Kirmizi

Born in Turkey, studied in Vocational Maritime High School to be a sailor but then he realized that his character could not resist to isolation from the loved ones, and lack of socialization, although he loves the sea. His love of human cognition led him to continue with Psychology BA at Yaşar University in Izmir, Türkiye. He always felt the freedom of choosing different pathways in future since Psychology has many sub- and co-branches. Thanks to his favorite professor Prof. Emre Özgen in Yaşar University, he learned statistics and programming well and graduated in June 2021. He planned a new route to use his capabilities and follow his interests. Since October 2021, he has been studying in M.Sc. Neurosciences at University of Bremen. During the scope of this program, he has completed an internship on Conscious Animal Positron Emission Tomography (RatCAP) Data Analysis of freely moving rats with radiotracer [11C]+-PHNO under supervision of Associate Professor Daniela Schulz in Boğaziçi University, and an intership on EEG Data Analysis of Sustained Attention to Response Task in Izmir University of Economics under supervision of Prof. Canan Basar-Eroglu. Currently, under supervision of Dr. Florian Ahrens and Prof. Thorsten Fehr, he is working on EASE fMRI studies in Virtual Environments, which is also planned as the topic of his master’s thesis.
