A key hypothesis in sensory system neuroscience is that sensory representations are adapted to the statistical regularities in sensory signals and thereby incorporate knowledge …
A central hypothesis concerning sensory processing is that the neuronal circuits are specifically adapted to represent natural stimuli efficiently. Here we show a novel effect in …
Since all properties (anatomy, physiology and sensory processing mechanisms) of the human visual system are the product of evolution and postnatal development, it is …
A fundamental component of interacting with our environment is gathering and interpretation of sensory information. When investigating how perceptual information influences decision …

Intrinsic neuronal variability significantly limits information encoding in the primary visual cortex (V1). Certain stimuli can suppress this intertrial variability to increase the reliability of …

It has been suggested that the overall organisation of the visual system, including the response properties of individual neurons, might be optimised for encoding the statistical …
Improvements in perception are frequently accompanied by decreases in correlated variability in sensory cortex. This relationship is puzzling because overall changes in …
Using the visual system as a model, we recently showed that the efficient coding principle accounted for the allocation of computational resources in central sensory processing: when …
To model the responses of neurons in the early visual system, at least three basic components are required: a receptive field, a normalization term, and a specification of …
