	The present article reviews proposals suggesting that the binding

	possible assembly-labels: rate enhancement due to visual attention
	and neuronal synchrony. Assembly-labels should be spread through
	the cortical network to all neurons that have to participate in an
	assembly. The present article tries to shed light on the mechanisms

	it is suggested that assembly labels may fulfill an equivalent role
	in the motor system, since binding problems can also occur during
	the generation of useful patterns of motor activity. " },
