His scientific achievements began with the formulation of an entirely original research paradigm as a means for determine regularities in process timing alongside the effects of synchronization for visuo-perceptual organization (Elliott & Müller, 1998, 2000, etc.). From this work he was able to firmly establish that the precise spatio-temporal patterning of a subthreshold priming stimulus embedded in a flickering pattern is of influence upon the binding of subsequently presented visual patterns. In fact, and as shown by Elliott, Giersch and Seifert (2006), this is the only paradigm to have shown direct feature - feature binding is measurable through manipulation of the dynamics of (inter)neural mechanisms. The paradigm thus permits direct access to the mechanisms responsible for the integration of component processes or of individual chunks of sensory information in perception, and thus directly concerns the psychological binding hypothesis which has been a topic of discussion since the mid 1980’s.
