 The workshop will gather a small group of experts to informally  exchange the latest ideas and findings, both experimental and theoretical, in the field of multisensory integration. It will consist of two days packed with talks by invited speakers (see below) as well as discussions. There will also be a poster session, and participants are strongly encouraged to submit an abstract. Researchers, postdocs and graduate students interested in multisensory integration and hierarchical processing are all invited to apply.
