Ordinary vision is considered a binding success: all the pieces and aspects of an image are bound together, despite being processed by many different neurons in several different cortical areas. How this is accomplished is a key problem in visual neuroscience. The study of visual binding might be facilitated if we had ways to induce binding failures. A particularly interesting failure would involve a loss of the physical integrity of the image. Here, we identify conditions that induce such perceptual failures (e.g. the melting together of equiluminant colored images and the fragmentation of retinally stabilized images) and we suggest that these should studied using electrophysiological measures of binding.
尽管图像的所有部分和方面是由几个不同皮质区域中的许多不同神经元处理的，但它们被绑定在一起。这是如何实现的是视觉神经科学中的一个关键问题。如果我们有办法诱导绑定失败，那么视觉绑定的研究可能会更容易。一种特别有趣的失败情况将涉及图像物理完整性的丧失。在这里，我们确定了诱导这种感知失败的条件（例如等亮度彩色图像的融合以及视网膜稳定图像的碎片化），并且我们建议应该使用绑定的电生理测量方法来研究这些条件。
