Abstract
One solution to the binding problem is the hypothesis that property binding should be represented by phaselocking among neuronal oscillatory firing. We introduce this synchronous firing hypothesis into the selforganizing maps, or SOMs. Here we propose oscillatory self-organizing maps. Using the computer simulation, we show that our model composed of the oscillatory SOMs can separate and extract information of the shapes and the colors from two simultaneous inputs, solving the binding problem.
