The integration of multisensory information is an essential mechanism in perception and in controlling actions. Research in multisensory integration is concerned with how the information from the different sensory modalities, such as the senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and proprioception, are integrated to a coherent representation of objects. Multisensory integration is central for action control. For instance, when you grasp for a rubber duck, you can see its size and hear the sound it produces. Moreover, identical physical properties of an object can be provided by different senses. You can both see and feel the size of the rubber duck. Even when you grasp for the rubber duck with a tool (e.g. with tongs), the information from the hand, from the effect points of the tool and from the eyes are integrated in a manner to act successfully. Over the recent decade a surge of interest in multisensory integration and action control has been witnessed, especially in connection with the idea that multiple sensory sources are integrated in an optimized way. For this perspective to mature, it will be helpful to delve deeper into the information processing mechanisms and their neural correlates, asking about the range and constraints of this mechanisms, about its localization and involved networks.

Perceptual organization is the neuro-cognitive process that enables us to perceive scenes as structured wholes consisting of objects arranged in space. Simplicity in Vision explores the intriguing idea that these perceived wholes are given by the simplest organizations of the scenes. Peter A. van der Helm presents a truly multidisciplinary approach to answer fundamental questions such as: Are simplest organizations sufficiently reliable to guide our actions? What is the nature of the regularities that are exploited to arrive at simplest organizations? To account for the high combinatorial capacity and speed of the perceptual organization process, he proposes transparallel processing by hyperstrings. This special form of distributed processing not only gives classical computers the extraordinary computing power that seemed reserved for quantum computers, but also explains how neuronal synchronization relates to flexible self-organizing cognitive architecture in between the relatively rigid level of neurons and the still elusive level of consciousness.

Analysen der Wortstellung des Deutschen betrachten oft die Informationsstruktur als genuin syntaktischen Faktor: Funktionale Projektionen (Topik- oder Antifokusphrasen) oder ähnliche grammatische Annahmen sollen erklären, warum sich bestimmte Satzbestandteile in bestimmten Kontexten auf verschiedene Art und Weise anordnen. Die Zirkularität einer solchen Erklärung wurde dabei lange Zeit ebenso ignoriert wie ihre empirischen Probleme.Rigide Vorhersagen der Wortstellung aus Diskursfaktoren sind für das Deutsche, wie dieses Buch zeigt, empirisch nicht haltbar. Es lässt sich im Gegenteil zeigen, dass es prosodische, semantische und in Teilen auch formal-syntaktische Faktoren sind, die die Wortstellung des Deutschen empirisch korrekt und konzeptuell attraktiv zu beschreiben gestatten.Eine syntaktische Repräsentation der Informationsstruktur wird daher – entgegen einer jahrzehntelangen Forschungstradition – in der vorliegenden Analyse abgelehnt. An ihrer Stelle wird eine komplexe Grammatikarchitektur entworfen, die die syntaktischen, semantischen und prosodischen Faktoren der deutschen Wortstellung kohärent darstellt und auf neuartige Weise zueinander in Beziehung setzt.

From the early 1970s, the author worked on the neglected theory of C.G. Jung's depth psychology, incorporating it into modern knowledge about living organisms, and reflecting on the consequences of Jung's discovery for our worldview and religion. What is new about the present study is thatthe authorapproaches the religious metamorphosis from the perspective of the evolution of consciousness itself. The result of his exploration made the author realize that the development of European consciousness was not just an accidental historical process but a true evolutionary step: a "mega mutation" of consciousness. In this process, the basic parameter of the mythical understanding of our world was overcome and replaced by a completely new worldview which - after the discovery of the unconsious by Freud and Jung - was founded on scientific results empirically proved. This enables humanity to transcend the dilemma between knowledge and faith and to find a new understanding of both matter and mind that is adequate to today's knowledge of nature. From this point of view, a radically new access to spirituality and ethics becomes possible.

In 1988, Jerry Fodor and Zenon Pylyshyn challenged connectionist theorists to explain the systematicity of cognition. In a highly influential critical analysis of connectionism, they argued that connectionist explanations, at best, can only inform us about details of the neural substrate; explanations at the cognitive level must be classical insofar as adult human cognition is essentially systematic. This volume reassesses Fodor and Pylyshyn's 'systematicity challenge' for a post-connectionist era, covering the most important recent developments in the systematicity debate.

The book presents a mathematical answer to the ancient philosophical question ""How mind is related to matter"". It proves that in the mathematical world, the bridge from matter to mind requires extension and modification of quantum physics. The proposed dynamical model that captures behavior of living things is based upon the extension of the First Principles of classical physics to include the phenomenological behavior of living systems, i.e. to develop a new mathematical formalism within the framework of classical dynamics that would allow one to capture the specific properties of natural o
