Session II: Human Recognition and Memory Processing on Different Time Scales
Ralf Rummer (University of Erfurt): Visuo-spatial working memory and the retention of letters and written text: An applied cognitive perspective
Maria Klatte and Thomas Lachmann (RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau): Cross-modal interference in working memory due to task-irrelevant sounds: one, some, or many mechanisms?

the human posterior insular cortex
Peter van der Helm (University of Leuven): The perceptual origin of the golden ratio
Stephen Link (University of California, San Diego): Measuring the epoch time quantum
Mark Elliott (National University of Ireland, Galway): Timing universals in dynamic systems: they are necessary and they can be measured. But what are relations between dynamics and quantum?
Dirk Vorberg (University of Muenster): Discrimination of brief durations: quantal or continuous mechanisms?
Anne Giersch (Inserm, Strasbourg): How fundamental issues in timing translate to clinical situtations
Closing Session
