The workshop will follow up on our previous workshops=20 <https://pcl.upjs.sk/workshop>. Format: 1/2-day sessions, including invited talks, contributed talks, and=20 posters focusing on the topics of *Spatial Audio Virtualization and=20 Gamification for Hearing Assessment and Enhancement (general)*, as well=20 as *other topics in computational and cognitive neuroscience*. (Also,=20 non-scientific program =E2=80=93 outings to tourist destinations near Kos= ice =E2=80=93=20 will be organized on the days before and/or day after the workshop.)
