This still involves basic ontological issues of the sort raised by Whitehead and others, which remain outstanding particularly in relation to the binding problem, the question of how different perceptions ( e . g . color and contour in vision ) are " bound " to the same object when they are processed by separate areas of the brain.

Hypotheses of consciousness and spacetime explain consciousness in describing a " space of conscious elements ", Electromagnetic theories of consciousness solve the binding problem of consciousness in saying that the electromagnetic field generated by the brain is the actual carrier of conscious experience, there is however disagreement about the implementations of such a theory relating to other workings of the mind.

In the early 1980s, neuroscientists such as Torston Wiesel and David H . Hubel were discovering that different areas of the primate visual cortex were finely tuned to selective features, such as line orientation, luminance, color, movement, etc . These findings prompted the question of how these distinct features are connected into a unified whole, e . g ., the binding problem.
