The 5th workshop on

Cognitive neuroscience of auditory and cross-modal perception

15-17 April 2024, Košice (pronounced KOH-shih-tse), Slovakia

https://pcl.upjs.sk/workshop-2024

Objectives:

• This workshop will include advanced 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 spatial audio virtualization and gamification for hearing assessment and enhancement.
• 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 is aimed at early-stage and advanced students and young researchers, and it will provide ample opportunities for direct interactions between the lecturers and the attendees.

The workshop will follow up on our previous workshops.

Format:

1/2-day sessions, including invited talks, contributed talks, and posters focusing on the topics of Spatial Audio Virtualization and Gamification for Hearing Assessment and Enhancement (general), as well as other topics in computational and cognitive neuroscience. (Also, non-scientific program – outings to tourist destinations near Kosice – will be organized on the days before and/or day after the workshop.)
