[visionlist] CfP: Cross-Modality in Perceptual Domains: Riga, December 7, 2019

[Jurgis Skilters]

14th International Symposium of Cognition, Logic and Communication

"Linking Senses: Cross-Modality in Perceptual Domains across Cultures"

University of Latvia

December 7, 2019



Keynote speakers include

Prof. Asifa Majid (University of York, UK)

Prof. Baingio Pinna (Sassari University, Italy)

Prof. Charles Spence (Oxford University, UK)



Crossmodal mappings describe the systematic links between different
stimulus features across perceptual modalities. Although crossmodal
mappings are well-documented, several sensory domains (e.g., odor, taste,
temperature) remain underexplored, and the relation of such mappings to
emotion and action requires further elucidation. In addition, important
questions still remain to be explored with regards to the
culture-dependency and universality of crossmodal associations, and their
development over the lifespan and across evolution.



The symposium invites submissions on the following topics, but is not
limited to them:

   - Links between perceptual domains, especially the lesser-explored
   sensory modalities
   - Universality and culture dependency of perceptual modalities
   - The development of crossmodal associations
   - The cross-species consistency of crossmodal associations



Deadline:
