Existing neuroimaging studies in decision making predominantly employ the fMRI method. Despite its superior spatial resolution, fMRI is an expensive and impractical neuroimaging technology for purchasing behavior studies in the field. This study aims to explore the role of prefrontal cortex during purchasing behavior by utilizing functional near-infrared (fNIR) spectroscopy; a low-cost, non-invasive and portable optical brain imaging methodology. The findings suggest that fNIRS can be effectively used for developing a neuro-physiologically informed, predictive model of purchasing behavior based on multivariate effects of activations in frontopolar, dorso-medial and dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex.

Neural Correlates of Purchasing Decisions in an Ecologically Plausible Shopping Scenario with Mobile fNIR Technology Çakır, Murat Perit; Girisken, Yener; Demircioglu, Ari K. (2016-07-22) In this paper we present our preliminary findings for the neural correlates of purchasing decisions made in a computerized setting as well as in an ecologically plausible supermarket environment. Participants who were randomly recruited from a database of typical customers maintained by a marketing consultancy company were given a specific budget and asked to make purchasing decisions for basic grocery items in two separate conditions. In the first condition, participants made their decisions in a computeri...
Rational choice theory: its merits and limits in explaining and predicting cultural behavior Kılınç Adanalı, Yurdagül; Turan, Şeref Halil; Department of Philosophy (2016) The main goal of this dissertation is to examine whether instrumental rationality can predict and explain successfully human behavior in all walks of life. I have chosen Rational Choice Theory and Public Choice Theory as the focus of my investigation, since they are considered as the best models of instrumental rationality in philosophy and social sciences, and in particular in economics and politics. To see their merits and to determine their limits, I have applied Rational Choice Theory and Public Choice ...
Bridging Brain and Educational Sciences: An Optical Brain Imaging Study of Visuospatial Reasoning Çakır, Murat Perit; Izzetoglu, Meltem; Shewokis, Patricia A.; Izzetoglu, Kurtulus; Onaral, Banu (2011-10-22) In this paper we present an experimental study where we investigated neural correlates of visuospatial reasoning during math problem solving in a computer-based environment to exemplify the potential for conducting interdisciplinary research that incorporates insights from educational research and cognitive neuroscience. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology is used to measure changes in blood oxygenation in the dorsolateral and inferior prefrontal cortex while subjects attempt to solve t...
Fault detection and diagnosis in nonlinear dynamical systems Kılıç, Erdal; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) The aim of this study is to solve Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) problems occurring in nonlinear dynamical systems by using model and knowledge-based FDD methods and to give a priority and a degree about faults. For this purpose, three model-based FDD approaches, called FDD by utilizing principal component analysis (PCA), system identification based FDD and inverse model based FDD are introduced. Performances of these approaches are tested on different nonlinear dynamical systems starting from simple t...
An investigation of the neural correlates of purchase behavior through fNIRS Çakır, Murat Perit; Girisken, Yener; Yurdakul, Dicle (2018-01-01) Purpose This study aims to explore the plausibility of the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) methodology for neuromarketing applications and develop a neurophysiologically-informed model of purchasing behavior based on fNIRS measurements.
