    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.
