- | framework is discussed which explains how perceptual grouping at | + | |

- | in cortex. Different grouping mechanisms are implemented which are | + | |
- | attuned to basic features and feature combinations and mainly | + | |

- | due to limitations of local feature detection mechanisms and | + | |
