Social Spaces as Necessity
Every scientific institution is also a social space. To have worked in different institutions on different continents is both a challenge and a gift. In this personal report, a few experiences and observations are sketched which have been made in China, Russia, the United States, and Germany. The journey begins in Germany, to be exposed to research in ethology and biological rhythms. From there, it goes to the United States, where neuropsychology…
Warum Kinder ihrer Freiheit beraubt werden
Ceci n'est pas la mort
Previous research has demonstrated that death reminders influence how we perceive art. In the context of terror management theory, this has been explained by the death‐transcending quality of art to convey cultural meaning. In two studies, we examined psychological and neurocognitive responses to naturalistic and surrealistic art when death was primed. We found that naturalistic paintings were evaluated similarly in terms of personal reassurance …

Temporal processing deficits in high‐functioning children with autism
It is well known that complex functions (e.g. perception, attention, memory, emotions, social interactions and language) are usually disturbed in autism. As these functions are characterized by specific temporal patterns, the present study examined whether children with autism show typical temporal processing in the time domain of a few seconds. Using a temporal‐reproduction paradigm, we found that they were unable to link their responses to stim…
Temporal mechanisms of the brain as fundamentals of communication — with special reference to music perception and performance
Rhythm and tempo are basic constituents of music perception and music performance. As these temporal characteristics in musical skill are controlled by mechanismsof the brain, we seek to explain them on the basis of a taxonomy of temporal processes of the central nervous system. In the presented model, two distinct mechanismsare discussed: On a high-frequency level (ca. 30 milliseconds), the brain creates successive events in perception and motor…

Anesthetic Control of 40-Hz Brain Activity and Implicit Memory
The Advantage of Preconceived Ideas
Descartes tells us to be without prejudice if we deal with a problem. It turns out that, in principle, we are not capable of being without prejudices or preconceived ideas. For economical reasons reference systems are established within which perception and cognition operate, and such reference systems can be studied experimentally in perception. One conclusion is the following definition of perception: It is the verification (or falsification) o…
The Measurement of Music and the Cerebral Clock
How is it possible that, during the performance of music, tempo can be controlled in such a way that, even for a long-lasting piece, there are only minute differences of tempo between the beginning and the end? From the biological and psychological viewpoint this question is rather difficult to answer. A new theory is proposed that tries to link tempo control in music to the neuronal mechanisms of the brain that underlie human time perception and…
