Dear colleagues and students,
We are please to invite you to participate in the half-day workshop Stable perception of spectral information across contexts: From normalization to adaptive category representations<https://www.su.se/english/divisions/centre-for-research-on-bilingualism/abo…>, taking place on the morning of June 11th, 2026, in Stockholm, Sweden.
The workshop is open to all and free of charge. It serves as a pre-conference workshop to NLS2026. The conference has recently extended its abstract submission deadline to March 2, 2026. We warmly encourage you to consider submitting your work.
About the workshop
This workshop brings together researchers from phonetics, cognitive science, neuroscience, and speech technology to explore how listeners achieve stable speech perception despite large differences between talkers and contexts. It focuses on low-level auditory mechanisms involved in formant and spectral normalization, and how these rapid processes interact with higher-level representations of linguistic categories and contexts. Through invited talks and a focused discussion, we aim to connect insights from behavioral studies, neural data, computational modeling, and machine recognition to address open questions about normalization and adaptation in speech perception.
Invited speakers
Kasia Hitczenko (University of Delaware, USA)
Ediz Sohoglu (University of Sussex, UK)
Ondrej Šuch (Slovak Academy of Sciences, Slovakia)
Santiago Barreda (University of California, Davis, USA)
T Florian Jaeger (University of Rochester, USA)
We would be very grateful if you could circulate this announcement within your networks. We look forward to welcoming you to Stockholm in June.
Best wishes,
