SAVE THE
DATE! The 3rd
Workshop on "Cognitive
neuroscience of auditory and cross-modal perception" 29 - 31
May
2017 Kosice,
Slovakia http://pcl.upjs.sk/workshop2017 Objectives ·
This workshop will include research talks (and
introductory
lectures) on a range of topics related to the neural
processes of auditory,
visual and cross-modal perception. ·
The main focus of this year's workshop will be on
adaptation,
learning and training in hearing, vision and other
perceptual and cognitive
brain functions. ·
The talks will illustrate the multidisciplinary
character of
cognitive neuroscience research, covering behavioral,
neuroimaging, and
modeling approaches, as well as applications of the research
in auditory
prosthetic devices. ·
The workshop targets early-stage and advanced
students and
young researchers. It will provide ample opportunities
for direct
interactions between the lecturers and the attendees. The workshop will follow-up on previous two
workshops organized in 2014 and 2015. Format 1/2-day
sessions, including invited talks, contributed talks, and
posters, focusing on
the topics of Adaptation, Learning and training,
Auditory and cross-modal
perception (general), and Vision and other topics in
computational and
cognitive neuroscience. Non-scientific program (outings
to tourist
destinations near Kosice) will take place on the day before
and day after the
workshop. Venue Lecture hall
