A moment to reflect upon perceptual synchrony

& How does neuronal activity bring about the interpretation of visual space in terms of objects or complex perceptual events? If they group, simple visual features can bring about the in-tegration of spikes from neurons responding to different fea-tures to within a few milliseconds. Considered as a potential solution to the ‘‘binding problem,’ ’ it is suggested that neu-ronal synchronization is the glue for binding together different features of the same object. This idea receives some support from correlated- and periodic-stimulus motion paradigms, both of which suggest that the segregation of a figure from ground is a direct result of the temporal correlation of visual signals. One could say that perception of a highly correlated visual structure permits space to be bound in time. However, on closer analysis, the concept of perceptual synchrony is insufficient t
