The world is experienced as a unified whole, but sensory systems do not deliver it to the brain in this way. Signals from different sensory modalities are initially registered in separate brain areas —even within a modality, features of the sensory mosaic such as colour, size, shape and motion are fragmented and registered in specialized areas of the cortex. How does this information become bound together in experience? Findings from the study of abnormal binding — for example, after stroke — and unusual binding — as in synaesthesia — might help us to understand the cognitive and neural mechanisms that contribute to solving this ‘binding problem’.
世界被体验为一个统一的整体，但感觉系统并非以这种方式将其传递给大脑。来自不同感觉模态的信号最初在大脑的不同区域进行登记——即使在一种模态内，感觉镶嵌的特征，如颜色、大小、形状和运动，也是分散的，并在皮层的专门区域进行登记。这些信息是如何在体验中结合在一起的呢？对异常结合（例如中风后）和异常结合（如联觉）的研究结果可能有助于我们理解有助于解决这个“结合问题”的认知和神经机制。
