Location: Frankfurt am Main, Germany 
Contact: Sebastian Wallot

Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Discourse Analysis; Neurolinguistics; Psycholinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

This workshop provides the theoretical background, as well as hands-on
training in R, for the application in psychology and the social sciences of
some of the most popular and broadly-applicable nonlinear analyses methods.
Specifically, we will focus on the following methods: (Cross-)Recurrence
Quantification Analyses ((C-)RQA), Fractal Analysis (FA), and Convergent
Cross-Mapping (CCM).

RQA has a broad applicability, allowing the analysis of quantitative and
qualitative changes in time-series and sequences, the analysis of coupling
properties between two or more systems, as well as the analysis of
multidimensional time-series.
FA allows to analyze fractal scaling relations and long-memory properties of
time-series.
CCM is a method to analyze the strength and direction of influence among two
time-series allowing the construction of a causal network between a set of
variables.

In the social and behavioral sciences, these methods are useful for studying
systems with nonlinear time evolution because they do not make strong
assumptions about the data and allow to capture complex temporal patterns.
They have been particularly useful for the analysis of time-series data from
naturalistic settings and semi-experimental studies, investigations of
response times, as well as the analysis of joint-action data in order to
quantify group-dynamics such as synchrony and coupling between individuals, as
well as leader-follower relationships.

Registration: 
Participation in the workshop is for free, but you will need to cover costs
for accommodation and travel yourself. Moreover, we can assist a limited
number of participants in covering costs for travel and lodging. You can
indicate if you need travel assistance in your application for registration
(see link below).

If you want to register for the workshop, please use to following link:
https://www.soscisurvey.de/NonlinMeth/. Here, we ask to answer a few questions
about your expertise (which are only for the instructor to get a sense of the
audience), write a brief motivational statement why you want to participate,
and upload a CV of no more than 2 pages.

The number of participants is limited to 30. If we receive more applications
for registration than there are slots, participants will be selected based on
their motivational statement and their CV.

Registration is open until May 15 and you will receive feedback on your
registration application until May 31 the latest.
