As part of TÜBİTAK 1001 program (2025 – 1st term), the project “Perceptual and Cortical Dynamics in Migraine: A Comprehensive Assessment of Visual Perception and Neural Networks”, with Prof. Dr. Hulusi Kafalıgönül as principal investigator and Prof. Dr. Hayrunnisa Bolay Belen and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Doğa Vurallı as team members, has been awarded funding.

The project aims to investigate changes in visual perception and neural networks in individuals with migraine, with the goal of developing behavioral and neural biomarkers that can bridge these two levels of analysis. The findings are expected to contribute to a better understanding of migraine and to the development of practical assessment tools for clinical use. By jointly evaluating visual perception and resting-state brain networks, the study will provide unique insights into the underlying mechanisms of migraine. Furthermore, the methods and approaches developed in this project are expected to guide research on other neurological conditions.
