Adaptation optimizes sensory encoding for future stimuli. by Jiang Mao, Constantin A Rothkopf, Alan A Stocker

“…We then asked whether this characteristic change in encoding accuracy is predicted by the temporal statistics of natural visual input. Analyzing the retinal input of freely behaving human subjects showed that the distribution of local visual orientations in the retinal input stream indeed peaks at the mean orientation of the preceding input history (i.e., the adaptor). …”
