Researchers from the Institute for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence presented three studies at the 24th National Neuroscience Congress (USK 2026). The congress was held on September 10–13, 2026, at Boğaziçi University’s South Campus in Istanbul. It was organized by the Boğaziçi University Institute of Biomedical Engineering with the contribution of the Brain Research Association (BAD), under the theme “Innovative Approaches from Neuroscience to Neurotechnology.”

M.Sc. students Emirhan İnan and Hannan Toprak are the first authors of the studies, which were carried out with Prof. Suayb S. Arslan. The study on visual acuity and crowding is a collaboration with Asst. Prof. Fazilet Zeynep Keleş of the Boğaziçi University Department of Psychology.
