*  psychological aspects of method-based decision making
*  perception and creation of art works
*  emotional body language (EBL) in dynamic movements
*  artistic expressions in motions
*  perception and action in complex environments
*  learning algorithms for natural and artificial systems
*  numerical cognition
*  function of the brain, e.g., learning and memory
*  functional connectivity
*  psychological disorders and addiction

The Symposium is meant to bring researchers together and to stimulate
interdisciplinary research. Hence, also reports on work in progress and
presentation of challenges and obstacles are explicitely encouraged.
Participation is subject to an invitation by the organizers. However,
researchers and practitioners (in particular young scientists) can
apply for one of the very few open places for participation and poster
presentations until July 31, 2010 (see http://sccs10.uni-hd.de for 
details).
