Object and event perception are core features of human cognitive
processing. Further, these core human cognitive abilities may be reflected
differently in language and in perception. This symposium aims to integrate
perspectives from different areas (including psychology, neuroscience,
linguistics, computer science, AI, and philosophy). The symposium will
focus primarily on the following topics, but is not limited to them:


Events and objects
Events in space and time
Event perception from a developmental perspective
Developmental origins of event and object perception
Neural principles of event and object perception
Perception of causality
Relations between objects and events
Typology of events and objects
Events in semantics


*Deadlines:*

Abstracts of no more than 250 words are to be submitted by May 15 (
lpcs at lu.lv). (Abstracts should contain a brief description of relevant
theory, research design and methods, and results.) Authors will be notified
in the second half of May.
