[AUDITORY] Workshop on Auditory Efferent System(s) - Nov. 4-6, 2024

["Carney, Laurel" <Laurel_Carney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues,
     We are excited about plans for a workshop at the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg in Delmenhorst, Germany, entitled, “Auditory Efferent Systems: Closing the Loop(s),” November 4-6, 2024 (from Monday morning through late afternoon Wednesday).

       If you, colleagues, or trainees are interested in attending the HWK Workshop, we have room for 40 attendees, in addition to the speakers (see below), with 20 open poster presentations. Registration here: https://hanse-ias.de/en/events/detail/event/480. Registration deadline is April 30, 2024.
    Here is the list of speakers and tentative titles:
