Biography

Bram Van Dun received an Electrotechnical Engineering Master degree and a Ph.D degree in Engineering Sciences from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Leuven, Belgium) in 2003 and 2008, respectively. During the preparation of his PhD, he was employed as a research assistant in a joint research project of the group of Experimental Oto-Rhino-Laryngology (Dept. Neurosciences) and the Signals, Identification, System Theory and Automation group (Dept. Electrotechnical Engineering), both of the K.U.Leuven. His research interests are in the area of applied signal processing techniques for electroencephalography and auditory evoked potentials. One of his main research activities aimed at studying the impact of signal processing strategies on hearing threshold determination through auditory steady-state responses (ASSR).

Since March 2009, Bram is a research electrophysiologist at National Acoustic Laboratories. He performs original research directed toward improving the efficiency of electro-physiological assessment, and devising new tests to investigate normal hearing mechanisms and hearing disorders. His research is performed using single and multi channel EEG devices, MEG systems, and oto-acoustic measurement devices on hearing aid and cochlear implant users in particular.
