TIMELY Training School on

Psychophysical, Computational and Neuroscience Models of Time Perception

Groningen, April 4 – 8, 2011

TIMELY (EU COST funded Action; www.timely-cost.eu) is organizing a Training School on the "Psychophysical, Computational and Neuroscience Models of Time Perception". The Training School will take place from Monday April 4^th to Friday April 8^th at the University of Groningen, NL and will include both hands-on lab sessions and theoretical lectures.

April 4^th-5^th: A two-day intensive hand-on course on EEG methodology combined with lectures on how to measure time perception in EEG.

Lectures by: Niko Busch (Humbolt University, Berlin), Warren H. Meck (Duke University), Trevor Penney (National University of Singapore), Hedderik van Rijn (University of Groningen), Agnieszka Wykowska (Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich)

April 6^th-7^th: Presentations on current models of time perception combined with lectures on detailed and contrasting views on the components of those models.

Lectures by: Fuat Balci (Princeton University), Luke Jones (University of Manchester), Jeremie Jozefowiez and Armando Machado (University of Minho, Portugal), Warren H. Meck (Duke University), Niels Taatgen (University of Groningen), John Wearden (Keele University), Dan Zakay (Tel Aviv University), and others.

April 6^th Evening: Poster presentation by all attending students.

April 8^th: A one-day intensive hand-on course on creating computational models (using the SET and the Taatgen, Van Rijn and Anderson, 2008, accounts) in ACT-R.

A detailed program will be uploaded on http://www.timely-cost.eu/activities/training-schools.

A limited number of 20 students will be admitted to the Training School and will be funded for up to 600 euros (travel and accommodation). Funding can only be provided for students who attend the full training school and present a poster during the student poster session on Wednesday. This poster can either focus on already conducted work, or on planned work. Accommodation for students (shared rooms) can be arranged by the organizers at the University Guesthousehttp://www.rug.nl/corporate/universiteit/wiewatwaar/guesthouse/index?lang=en (The costs are: E 46.50 per person per night, assuming double occupancy).

Prospective participants should be at advanced Master, PhD or Post-Doc level and should submit the following documents to argiro.vatakis@gmail.com:

· Curriculum vitae (please specify if you have any EEG experience)

· Statement of purpose (max 1 page)

· Title and Abstract of the poster that will be presented in the student poster session

· A detailed budget for travel.

· Whether you prefer a room in the University Guesthouse or arrange for lodging yourself.

For full consideration, applications should be submitted before February 28^th. On February 28^th, we will inform those students who will be funded. Any remaining funding will be assigned on a first-come, first served basis.
