summaryHow features are attributed to objects is one of the most puzzling issues in the neurosciences. A deeply entrenched view is that features are perceived at the locations where they are presented. Here, I show that features in motion displays can be systematically attributed from one location to another. Furthermore, features can be integrated across locations. Feature mis-localizations are usually treated as errors and limits of the visual system. On the contrary, I show that the non-retinotopic feature attributions presented here follow precisely rules of grouping pointing to a fundamental computational strategy and not to errors of visual processing.
