J. H. Reynolds and R. Desimone
The role of neural mechnaisms of attention in solving the binding problem

ABSTRACT

For purposes of this review, we will define the binding problem as the problem of how the visual system correctly links up all the different features of complex ob- jects. For example, when viewing a person seated in a blue car, one effortlessly sees that the person’s nose belongs to his face and not to the car, and that the car, but not the nose, is blue. To fully understand the solution to this problem requires a good neurobiological theory of object recognition, which does not exist. We will therefore follow the lead of the computer engineer, who, when asked to describe how he would write a computer program to recognize a chicken, replied, “first, assume Roda spherical chicken.” Thus, in this review we will make Geesome assumptions that simplify the binding problem in order to appreciate how neural mechanisms of attention provide a partial solution.
