Summary
Enes Avcu is a postdoctoral research fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital / Harvard Medical School with eight years of experience at the intersection of linguistics, cognitive science, and neuroimaging. He develops and applies neural decoding and effective connectivity methods on MR-constrained MEG/EEG source reconstructions to probe phonological constraints in spoken language perception. Trained with a PhD in Linguistics and dual masters in Cognitive Science and Linguistics, he combines rigorous computational analyses with deep theoretical grounding in language. His work sits in a rare niche that bridges experimental linguistics, advanced signal processing, and clinical-grade neuroimaging, enabling insights into how the brain dynamically represents speech. Based in Cambridge, MA, he brings international research experience across Turkey and the US and a track record of collaborative projects in multidisciplinary labs.
