In feature conjunction tasks, areas of the superior parietal cortex have been repeatedly linked to feature integration, in the sense that lower-level features have to be spatially integrated to form a visual object [39], [31].
On the basis of this biological constraint at the cellular level of the model, the overall system produces eye movement behaviours similar to those observed in normal human and monkey psychophysical studies [8], for example those reported by Motter and Belky [15] during visual search for a feature conjunction target.
The results of Experiment 3 alone might not be sufficient evidence for our hypothesis that visual short-term memory stores paired attributes rather than integrated objects, but it is consistent with the results of a recent study suggesting that the unit of memory is a feature conjunction [14].
We therefore conclude that there are many reasons why a feature conjunction coded as a base grouping cannot be searched for in parallel and that the IGT does not predict when search becomes serial.
However, activation of this same area has also been found in a feature conjunction search task [ 72], and in a divided attention task involving global and local processing [ 73], suggesting that this region is involved in more than shifting attention to a space location.

The model's performance on search for single features and feature conjunctions is consistent with existing psychophysical data.
Our results suggest that the detection of non-linguistic targets defined via complex feature conjunctions in the present study and the detection of syntactic anomalies share the same underlying processes: attentional shift and memory based matching processes that act upon multi-feature conjunctions.
In a weakly embodied view, abstracted modal experiences converge during the access of mental representations in convergence zones, where simulation "…may instead be the activation of feature conjunctions sufficient to represent a given object, or word" (Meteyard et al., 2012, pp. 794 5).
Experiment B, with a more balanced saliency of feature attributes, indicated that the P3 was sensitive to feature conjunctions, being greatest for the specific target stimulus, and not generally enhanced for the most salient feature.
As expected from the previous behavioral data, significant differences in hit rate (Study A MM = 80%, SEM = 1.3%; Study B: M = 86.91, SEM = 0.7%) for Experiments A and B were observed across all feature conjunctions (F 1, 14) = 8.413, p<0.005).
It has been argued that this is due to an early activation of high-level units in the ventral visual stream – these units are assumed to select high-level feature conjunctions diagnostic for target-category stimuli [13].
