Sub-and Supra-Second Timing: Brain, Learning and Development
Time perception in the range of milliseconds to a few seconds is essential for many important sensory and perceptual tasks including speech perception, motion perception, motor coordination, and cross-modal interaction. For the brain to be in synchrony with the environment, the physical differences in the speeds of light and sound, as well as stimuli from other modalities such as odors, must be processed and coordinated (Pöppel & Bao 2014; Bao et al., 2015). Time is a subjective feeling that is modulated by emotional states which trigger temporal distortions (temporal dilation vs. contraction) (Wittmann et al., 2014), hence give rise to subjective time that may be different to event time as...

Das Ende der Sommerzeit
Die Umstellung zwischen Sommer- und Winterzeit ist endlich Geschichte. Das Ende der Sommerzeit in Europa ist schon seit Jahren eine beschlossene Sache. Nun endlich wird dieses Vorhaben durch ein Industriekonsortium in die Realität umgesetzt. Die innovative Lösung wird mittels moderner Funktechnologie und künstlicher Intelligenz für einen harmonischen und kaum spürbaren Wechsel zwischen Sommer- und Winterzeit sorgen. Doch die schöne neue Welt hat auch ihre Schattenseiten. Schurken und Halunken planen den großen Betrug zum Schaden aller Europäer. Die Betrüger in grauen Anzügen scheuen weder Mord noch Entführung, um ihre dunklen Machenschaften durchzusetzen. In dieses Gerangel zwischen Gut und Böse gerät unser Protagonist Hannes. Der Verlegenheitsdetektiv kämpft sich tapfer durch ein Leben voller grotesker Begebenheiten und skurrilen Persönlichkeiten. Seine Recherchen führen Hannes immer näher an das gefährliche und milliardenschwere Geheimnis der übermächtigen grauen Männer. In der größten Not kann er die wahren Motive der Betrüger enthüllen. Dabei findet er sein persönliches Glück und am Ende die Antwort auf alle Fragen.
Explanation Within the Bounds of Religion
This book deals with the question of whether religious worldviews fulfil an explanatory function in the lives of believers. After rebutting some common objections to this claim, the author proposes to understand the explanatory nature of religious belief along the lines of inference to the best explanation. This proposal is qualified in view of the peculiar nature of religious belief: It is stressed that the type of explanation concerned occurs within the bounds of religion alone, and loses its sense apart from the religious form of life. In unfolding his argument, the author draws heavily on ideas of explanation developed in the philosophy of science, pointing to differences and comparisons between religious and scientific explanations. The author concludes by considering some specific things that theism explains.
Conceptualizations of Time
As time cannot be observed directly, it must be analyzed in terms of mental categories, which manifest themselves on various linguistic levels. In this interdisciplinary volume, novel approaches to time are proposed that consider temporality without time, on the one hand, and the coding of time in language, including sign language, and gestures, on the other. The contributions of the volume demonstrate that time is conceptualized not only in terms of space but in terms of other domains of human experience as well. Renowned specialists in the study of time, the authors of this volume investigate this fascinating topic from a variety of perspectives – philosophical, linguistic, anthropological, (neuro)psychological, and computational – demonstrating a familiarity with both classical and recent approaches to the study of time and including up-to-date corpus-based methods of study. The volume will be of interest to philosophers, linguists (including specialists in cognitive linguistics, corpus linguistics, and computational linguistics), anthropologists, (neuro)psychologists, translators, language teachers, and graduate students.
