Evelyne Mercure

Evelyne Mercure is a Research Fellow affiliated with the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London, collaborating with the Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development at Birkbeck, University of London. Her research focuses on the development of functional specialization in the brain, particularly in infants and adults, using techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and event-related potentials (ERPs) to study social stimuli processing, including faces, language, and vocalizations.

Education:

• PhD in Neuroscience, Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development, Birkbeck (2004–2007)
• MSc in Neuroscience, Université de Montréal (2002–2004)
• BSc in Speech and Language Pathology, Université de Montréal (1999–2002)

Her work investigates the interplay between maturation and experience in shaping neural specialization. Recent projects include studying brain correlates of emotional vocalizations in 3-month-olds. Her publications span peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations, emphasizing developmental neuroscience and language processing.
