Muhammet Ikbal Sahan

Muhammet Ikbal Sahan is an Assistant Professor at the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences, Erasmus University Rotterdam, affiliated with the Brain & Cognition research group. His work bridges cognitive psychology and neuroscience, focusing on the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying working memory and attention.

His research primarily investigates working memory, particularly verbal working memory, using eye-tracking and functional MRI to explore how information is maintained and accessed. Key brain regions of interest include the parietal cortex, hippocampus, and intraparietal sulcus. He examines mental representations and how eye movements reflect internal cognitive processes during memory tasks.

The analysis of his recent publications shows a strong emphasis on using behavioral proxies like eye movements to infer cognitive states in working memory, particularly the serial positioning of attended items. This reflects a broader trend in cognitive neuroscience toward using real-time behavioral markers to understand latent mental processes.
