Roughly comparable to toads and other vertebrates, sensory information processing in primates proceeds in a parallel-distributed and interactive fashion. Tremendous complexity arises from cortical neuronal circuits with regard to feature analysis, plasticity, multisensory integration, and sensory substitution (Kaas 1991). Combining and binding of features is a common task (Singer 1995). There is no one single place for perception at the “top” of a sensory system. All processing levels contribute to the resulting picture (Damasio 1990).

In primate vision, Ungerleider and Mishkin (1982) showed that two neural processing streams are involved to answer the questions “what kind of object?” and “where is the object?” (see also Hubel & Livingstone 1987).
