ABSTRACT
In the mammalian brain information processing is highly parallel, i.e. different features of an object are analyzed separately. The question of how these separately analyzed features are bound to a coherent percept is known as the binding problem. Up to date, less work has been dedicated to investigate the exact psychophysical characteristics of the binding process itself. For example, though temporal coding mechanisms play an important role in the discussion about the neuronal mechanisms in binding, the overall time course of feature binding is only little investigated in detail. To study this time course of feature binding we use the recently discovered feature inheritance effect.
