## Projects

- **Perceiving Representations: A Study of Structural Commonalities between Language, Pictures and Music** — http://uio.no/perceiving-representations (Jan 2019 - Present)
  The perception of objects that stand for something other than themselves gives rise to an intriguing puzzle. When perceiving a representation—e.g. hearing a bit of speech, seeing a picture or hearing a piece of music—this other thing—e.g. a meaning, an image, or a tone—is experienced too. How can we explain that perceiving some visual or auditory stimuli lets us experience something other than that very stimuli?  The project will undertake a unified and comparative study of this research question with regard to three different types of representations: speech, pictures and music.
