This workshop will include advanced research talks (and
introductory lectures) on a range of topics related to the <em><b><span

The main focus of this year’s workshop will be on <em><b><span
style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">spatial
audio virtualization and gamification for hearing
assessment and enhancement</span></b></em>.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
The talks will illustrate the <em><b><span
style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">multidisciplinary
character of cognitive neuroscience research</span></b></em>,
covering behavioral, neuroimaging, and modeling approaches, as
well as applications of the research in auditory prosthetic
devices.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"
style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
The workshop is aimed at <em><b><span
style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">early-stage
and advanced students and young researchers</span></b></em>,
and it will provide ample opportunities for direct
interactions between the lecturers and the attendees.<o:p></o:p></li>

<h3>Format:<o:p></o:p></h3>
<p>1/2-day sessions, including invited talks, contributed talks,
and posters focusing on the topics of <strong><span
style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Spatial
Audio Virtualization and Gamification for Hearing Assessment
and Enhancement (general)</span></strong>, as well as <strong><span
style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">other
topics in computational and cognitive neuroscience</span></strong>.
(Also, non-scientific program – outings to tourist destinations
near Kosice – will be organized on the days before and/or day
after the workshop.)<o:p></o:p></p>
