Abstract: Due to brain modularity, mechanisms of cortical integration are necessary. It is hypothesized here that the accuracy and speed of information integration is reflected as cognitive ability. In order to examine the process of cortical integration, participants perceptually grouped arrays of dots by means of spatial or temporal proximity. Psychophysical measurements were made of the limits of perceptual organization, and of processing time required to discriminate patterns at different levels of stimulus organization. Psychophysical measurements correlated with performance on a battery of tests of cognitive abilities, and different aspects of perceptual measures predicted different cognitive factors. Implications for cognitive enhancement are discussed.
