On Feature Binding in Space and Time

When presented with a yellow Volkswagen and a red Ferrari, how does the brain ?gure out which color goes with which car? The binding problem refers to how the visual system

pre-consciously combines visual features of objects in the physical world to create coherent mental equivalents in our consciousness. I discuss why feature binding is a problem for our brains despite its seemingly e?ortless resolution in every-day life. Drawing from experimental cognitive psychology, I demonstrate how it manifests in space and time.
