Notes on Sensory Binding and Coherence

The so-called "binding problem" of cognitive science is approached from a variety of angles, but all of them rely on measuring the strength, frequency, synchrony, and resonance of spike waves propagating through neural assemblies. There are many ways to estimate the relative cooperation between separated brain areas based on their wave properties, coherence is a term used to indicate strong signal strength and cooperation between areas. Areas that are high in coherence may act like coupled oscillators in a feedback circuit, or they may take the form of parallel circuits engaged in synchronized processing tasks.
