Balint's syndrome
Balint's syndrome, identified by Rezső (Rudolf) Bálint in 1909, is characterized by optic ataxia (the inability to accurately reach for objects), optic apraxia (the inability to voluntarily guide eye movements/ change to a new location of visual fixation), and simultanagnosia (the inability to perceive more than one object at a time, even when in the same place). Balint's syndrome is the result of visual binding deficits.
