<p align="left"><font style="font-size: 11pt" size="2">Episodic
memories are widely regarded as memories of personally
experienced events. Early concepts about episodic memory were
based on the storage model, according to which experiential
content is preserved in memory and later retrieved. However,
overwhelming empirical evidence suggests that the content of
episodic memory is – at least to a certain degree –
constructed in the act of remembering. Even though very few
contemporary researchers would oppose this view of episodic
memory as a generative process, it has not become the standard
paradigm of empirical memory research. This is particularly
true for studies of the neural correlates of episodic memory.
Further hindering progress are large conceptual differences
regarding episodic memory across different fields, such as
neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology. This
interdisciplinary conference therefore aims to bring together
researchers from all relevant fields to advance the state of
the art in the research on generative episodic memory.</font></p>
