Some sort of “combination” seems plausible for perception. Baars actually mentions “The binding problem” (how is it that disparate features combine to make a cohesive singular perception) but I couldn’t see how their idea addressed it.
This is actually one of the reasons I’m interested in looking for stuff that might be the “clock time” of any sort of bottleneck. Some amount of simultaneity of perception seems to be a post production thing. The psychological refractory period relates to experiments where you see and hear something and have to respond, and one seems to block the other for a moment (I haven’t investigated this in depth, so I’m not v familiar with the experimental paradigm). But there are other things that totally seem like simultaneously experience modalities of perception. I wonder what sorts of experiments would piece apart “actually happening at the same time” from “rapid concurrent switching + post production experience construction”. I’m very interested in finding out.
