Most cognitive functions are based on highly parallel and distributed
information processing by the brain. A paradigmatic example is provided by
the vertebrate visual system where numerous cortical areas have been
described which analyse different types of visual information. At present,
it is unclear how information can be integrated and how coherent
representational states can be established in such distributed systems. We
suggest that this so-called 'binding problem' may be solved in the temporal
domain. The hypothesis is that synchronization of neuronal discharges can
serve for the integration of distributed neurons into cell assemblies and
that this process may underlie the selection of perceptually and
behaviourally relevant information. We review experimental results, mainly
obtained in the visual system, which support this temporal binding
hypothesis.
