ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the aims on empirical, theoretical, and analytic work from all areas of interest in cognitive science, such as artificial intelligence, education, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and anthropology presented in European Cognitive Science Conference. It focuses on interdisciplinary work that is either of interest for more than one of the research areas mentioned or integrates research methods from different fields. With contributions by cognitive scientists from 20 different countries, the chapter reflects the origins of this conference, as well as its international scope. Using the recently discovered feature inheritance effect we focus on one of the most puzzling problems in the cognitive and neurosciences: on the feature binding problem. Our current hypothesis is that features of the vernier spread across “perceptual” space during the time before the masking grating is displayed. Mis-localization occured because of crowding of elements in the masking grating is showed.
