Here's the Binding Problem that some of you physics oriented folks may
want to tackle (it's easier than the Theory of Everything). The
Binding Problem is in these terms. There are separate modules in the
brain for shape, color, movement, etc. and there is no common site
where the outputs of all of these parallel modules are combined into
one or a common site processor that integrates them. So how come you
see images as one unified whole?? For example. How come you see a
bicycle as one when the analysis of each aspect like color, shape,
movement, etc. are in separate parts of the brain and no common
processor that integrates or combine them? The discovered 40 Hertz
oscillations don't solve the Binding Problem at all. Anyone can offer
a clue?

I'm thinking along quantum coherence in microtubules initially but it
didn't explain split brain where each side of the brain has separate
consciousness. Quantum coherence is supposed to bind the whole brain
and split brain phenomenon seems to refute it. What's your proposed
solution to the brain Binding Problem?
