SAVE THE DATE! The 4th Workshop on */"Cognitive neuroscience of auditory and cross-modal perception"/* 3 - 5 June 2019 Kosice, Slovakia http://pcl.upjs.sk/workshop2019 *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 spatial perception and cognition*. ·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 our previous workshops organized in 2014, 2015 and 2017 <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. *Venue* Lecture hall 2.17T,Faculty of Science / Technicom building, P.
