Abstract
The binding problem remains one of the most important and unsolved problems in cognitive science. One of the proposed solutions, which is probably the most accepted in the scientific community, involves the synchronized oscillations. According to this theory, the integration of the brain areas responsible for various features, such as color or spatial dimension of a perceived object, is the outcome of the synchronized oscillations of the neurons. Electro- encephalogram (EEG) results show us that different frequency bands are correlated with particular mental states. However, after presenting in detail this approach, we try to show that it still encounters serious obstacles to be considered the definitive solution for the binding problem.
