Research Focus
Dr. Adeen Flinker's research lab focuses on understanding how our brains process speech by analyzing the way sound is integrated over time in the auditory cortex. They use advanced techniques to study patients who have had neurosurgery, allowing them to capture detailed brain activity as individuals listen to speech. The goal is to uncover how we recognize words and sentences and to develop new treatments for speech disorders.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
