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 <http://pcl.upjs.sk/workshop>.

*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.
