for the audience from a wide variety of disciplines. The following
disciplines belong explicitly to the scope of the workshop:

- psychology (cognitive, developmental), perception,
- artificial intelligence (general aspects),
- associative memory and neural networks, neuroscience,
- language (also origin of language, computational, and disorders),
