Short for “Standardization of Computational Anatomy Techniques for Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences”, SoCAT Lab was formed in 2006 with support from United Stated
Brookhaven Laboratory and Ege University Prof. Dr. İhsan Doğramacı Foundation. After 2007 with the return of one of the founding members Prof. Dr. Ali Saffet Gönül back to
Turkey, together with the other two founders Prof. Dr. Ömer Kitiş and Prof. Dr. Çağdaş Eker, SoCAT Lab settled permanently at Ege University Faculty of Medicine Psychiatry and Radiology
