Balint's syndrome, identified by Rezsö (Rudolf) Bálint in 1909, is the inability to perceive the visual field as a whole, resulting in the unpredictable perception and recognition of only parts of it (simultagnosia ). Balint's syndrome is the result of visual binding deficits.

Neuroanatomical Evidence

Balint's syndrome has been found in patients with bilateral damage to the posterior parietal cortex.
