Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The question of how various brain areas produce a perception of a single object is known as the binding problem or large-scale integration problem. It is the problem of how the brain combines the activity in different brain areas to produce unified perception and coordinated behavior. Binding requires identifying the location of an object and perceiving sight, sound and other aspects of a stimulus as being simultaneous. When the sight and sound appear to come from the same location at the same time, we bind them as a single experience.
