Adaptation is fundamental to life. All organisms adapt over timescales that span from
evolution to generations and lifetimes to moment-by-moment interactions. The nervous …

Neocortical network behavior and neocortical function emerge from synaptic interactions
among neurons with specific electrophysiological and morphological characteristics. The …

This comprehensively updated and expanded revision of the successful second edition
continues to provide detailed coverage of the ever-growing range of research topics in …

The cellular mechanisms of spike-frequency adaptation during prolonged discharges and of
the slow afterhyperpolarization (AHP) that follows, as occur in vivo with contrast adaptation …

Contrast adaptation is a psychophysical phenomenon, the neuronal bases of which reside
largely in the primary visual cortex. The cellular mechanisms of contrast adaptation were …

Anecdotal reports abound of vision improving in myopia after a period of time without
refractive correction. We explored whether this effect is due to an increased tolerance of blur …

We explored the buildup and decay of threshold elevation during and after adaptation to
sinewave gratings in a series of experiments investigating the effects of adapting time …

Images of three-dimensional scenes inevitably contain regions that are spatially blurred by
differing amounts, owing to depth-of-focus limitations in the imaging apparatus. Recent …

Human vision can detect spatiotemporal information conveyed by first-order modulations of
luminance and by second-order, non-Fourier modulations of image contrast. Models for …

Prolonged viewing of sinusoidal luminance gratings produces elevated contrast detection
thresholds for test gratings that are similar in spatial frequency and orientation to the …
