Subject: URGENT: error in programme and web page From: Bob Carlyon <bob.carlyon(at)MRC-CBU.CAM.AC.UK> Date: Tue, 8 Dec 1998 15:27:51 +0000Dear organisers, The scientific programme listed in the printed call for papers and on the forum's web site lists no technical sessions on the friday afternoon, and a farewell drink at 2pm. BUT, you recently sent a letter to my colleague Dr, Hedwig Gockel stating that she was to give a lecture presentation in session 5pPPa, starting at 2pm on the friday afternoon! (the talk is entitled "Fundamental frequency discrimination: Influence of lateralised temporal fringes, by Gockel, Carlyon, and Micheyl). There is generally a problem anyway when giving a talk on the friday afternoon, as many people leave early, but it is clearly unaccceptable and unfair to the speakers to be scheduled for a session which according to all public sources of information does not exist. If, as I suspect, it is not possible to incorporate the talks between monday afternoon and friday morning, then please: (i) amend the information in the "scientific programme" section of the website, and (ii) highlight the change in the "news & updates" section of the website (http://forum99-asa.tu-berlin.de/contents.html) In addition you might want to send a notice of this and any other important changes to the auditory list (AUDITORY(at)LISTS.MCGILL.CA), which is read by many potential attendees Regards Bob Carlyon Dr. Bob Carlyon MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit 15 Chaucer Rd.
