Tom Francart

Tom Francart is a Professor at the Department of Neuroscience, Faculty of Medicine, KU Leuven. He leads research in auditory attention, EEG decoding, and speech processing, with affiliations to iSi Health, LBI (KU Leuven Brain Institute), and Leuven.AI.

His research focuses on:

• Neural decoding of auditory attention using EEG
• Objective measures for aphasia and hearing impairment
• Brain-computer interfaces for hearing aids
• Audiovisual integration in speech perception
• Machine learning applications in auditory neuroscience

Recent publications analyze neural tracking of speech in aphasia, transformer-based EEG decoding, and audiovisual context integration. He supervises projects on cochlear implants, attention decoding algorithms, and post-stroke recovery.
