Firing Thoughts: The binding problem might be a wrong assessment

According to  Vincent Di Lollo [2012], from Simon Fraser University, Canada, the feature-binding problem has defied solution because it is based on an erroneous premise: the notion of modular specificity and independence of neurons in the visual cortex. Such premise has been disconfirmed by advances in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. Instead of coding for single features, neurons throughout the visual cortex are now known to code for multiple features. Therefore the validity of the binding question is arguable.
