Simultagnosia is a condition in which an individual is unable to perceive multiple objects or events simultaneously. It is associated with Balint's syndrome, which is characterized by three symptoms - oculomotor apraxia (difficulty voluntarily directing the gaze), optic ataxia (difficulty reaching for objects under visual guidance), and simultagnosia (inability to perceive multiple objects at the same time).
