Dave Cayado

Dave Cayado is a Research Fellow in the Department of Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London. He holds a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship. His research focuses on cognitive neuroscience and psycholinguistics, particularly investigating how readers process word structures using neuroimaging techniques like MEG.

Current research explores word segmentation mechanisms in Tagalog through a project titled 'How do Tagalog readers learn to find the meaningful parts of words?' (2024-2027), mentored by Prof. Kathleen Rastle. His work bridges neuroimaging methods with language processing studies, addressing questions about cortical activation patterns during word decomposition and reconstruction.

Awarded the British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship, his contributions focus on advancing understanding of neurocognitive language systems. Though no formal grants or lab teams are explicitly detailed, his collaboration with Prof. Rastle underscores active mentorship and project-based research.
