My first-author review ‘Determinants of individual navigation ability’ is out in Nature Reviews Psychology, co-authored with the inspiring @hugospiers.bsky.social!!!! 🎉🧠 ➡️ rdcu.be/e7KxG #Neuroscience #Navigation @nature.com @natrevpsychol.nature.com @sfn.org @fens.org @ucl.ac.uk

Some tunes from me and my sister to start 2026! 🎻 Wishing everyone a beautiful year ahead ✨ 💕 #siblings #music #violin #cello #2026 @ucl.ac.uk @edinburghup.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social

Dr. Yavuz!!!! Delighted to share that I have passed my PhD viva today 🎓✨ A heartfelt thank you to Prof. Isabella Wagner (University of Vienna) and Prof. Caswell Barry (University College London) for an extremely enjoyable and stimulating viva.

Its been an honour to have been @emre-yavuz-21.bsky.social's PhD supervisor for he last 3 years. His hard work as created 3 published articles on Sea Hero Quest, one review manuscript with revisions resubmitted & a final article on fNIRS and group hunting behaviour about to be submitted/preprinted

📘 Submitted my PhD last week! Over 3 years, I explored what makes us good at spatial navigation using behaviour, brain imaging & VR. Grateful to my supervisors @hugospiers.bsky.social and @antoniahamilton.bsky.social, collaborators, friends & family! ♥️ Excited for what’s next! 🚀 #PhDCompleted

✨ My first Prom! What a joy to sing Mahler’s Das klagende Lied with the BBC Symphony Chorus, Constanza Chorus & Orchestra under Hannu Lintu. Grateful for the magic, the mentors, and the music. 🎶 #BBCProms #Mahler #FirstProm

Today I was officially told I’m cancer-free. After treatment for Hairy Cell Leukaemia at UCLH & Macmillan, I’m so grateful to be on the other side. It’s tested me in every way, but I’ve grown in strength, resilience & perspective. Thankful to all who were by my side throughout ♥️

Amazing Neuroscientists and life-long friends - grateful to grow, learn, and laugh alongside such brilliant minds! ♥️

Had so much presenting my poster ‘Dorsolateral prefrontal involvement in prey tracking during group hunting behaviour: Evidence from fNIRS and a Minecraft World’ at the FENS Regional Meeting in Oslo! Can’t thank enough my wonderful supervisors and collaborators who helped me make this happen 🙌🧠♥️

For those of you at FENS, poster location 79! Looking forward to seeing you there 🙌🧠

Great to see more of my lab join Bluesky Welcome Emre Yavuz!

Hello Bluesky! 👋 I’m a human cognitive neuroscientist and final-year PhD candidate at UCL, supervised by Prof. Hugo Spiers and Prof. Antonia Hamilton, using fNIRS, fMRI, and behavioural data to explore why we get lost and how our brains help us know where others are in space. 🧠✨
