Two-day workshop: Binaural Hearing

October 31, 2019 @ 12:00 am AEDT

Title: Binaural Workshop
Host: Professor David McAlpine
Date, time, location: Monday 11 November, 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, Australian Hearing Hub, Level 1, Lecture Theatre
Tuesday 12 November, 9:00am to 4:30pm,  Australian Hearing Hub, Level 1, Lecture Theatre

This two-day workshop brings together leading researchers from around in the globe to discuss the latest findings in the field of binaural and spatial hearing. Topics will range from cellular mechanisms of binaural processing to the representation of auditory space, health, and disease.

 Please RSVP emma.brint@mq.edu.au by Thursday 7 November for catering purposes.
