Lectio Precursora

The opponent and the custodian Professor Näätänen

Listening to words of wisdom

Tough question: 210 ms plus 600 ms equals 600 ms. How can that be?

Strange, what does he mean? Bip - bip, two pulses and 600 ms in between.

These are not so easy to distinguish, you know, if you have Chopin's pianoconcerto No 1 in the background

Exactly, with a little pause in between, as you can see on the blackboard, there is a big difference

This man did an unbelievable job, simultaneously translating the discussion into sign language

Finally, listening to words of praise.

The struggle is over, fortunately it was not so hard as the one going on in the background.
