5th International Conference on Auditory Cortex

Towards a Synthesis of Human and Animal Research; Magdeburg, Sept. 13th - 17th, 2014

10.03.2014

The 5th International Conference on Auditory Cortex is coming up! It will continue the series of previous meetings which were held in Magdeburg (Germany) in 2003 and 2009, in Nottingham (UK) in 2006, and in Lausanne (Switzerland) in 2012. The 2014 meeting will again take place in Magdeburg, from Saturday, September 13 to Wednesday, September 17, 2014. It will be organized by the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology Magdeburg.

Note that registration is now open. Please visit our webpage for further details on the conference; for any inquiries, please contact org@auditory-cortex.de.

The scientific program will cover a wide range of topics and will provide unique opportunities to discuss current ideas and concepts of auditory cortex functions in humans and animals. Overall, some 40 speakers have confirmed their attendance, from young researchers to long-established leading scientists. We arranged the scientific program around six sessions entitled:

  1. Auditory cortex in different species
  2. The hearing action cycle
  3. Learning in auditory cortex
  4. Auditory cortex: It's about time
  5. Multisensory interplay in auditory cortex
  6. Auditory cortex: Clinical aspects

In addition, we will provide ample space and time for short presentations, posters and discussions.

The setting of the conference in the marvelous Herrenkrug Parkhotel right next to the Elbe river has, in the past, provided a relaxed yet stimulating atmosphere for scientific discussions. We are confident this spirit will linger also in 2014. We, the organizers of the conference, will do our best to make the meeting successful. Still, if you need a break from it all, there are ideal possibilities for a range of other activities (wellness, golf, tennis, cycling, and much more).
