Natural image statistics for mouse vision. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 The mouse has dichromatic color vision based on two different types of opsins: short (S)- and middle (M)-wavelength-sensitive opsins with peak sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV; 360 nm) and green light (508 nm), respectively.

Neuronal variability reflects probabilistic inference tuned to natural image statistics [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 The neural sampling theory suggests that neuronal variability encodes the uncertainty of probabilistic inferences. This paper shows that response variability in primary visual cortex reflects the statistical structure of visual inputs, as required for ...

Gaussian-binary restricted Boltzmann machines for modeling natural image statistics. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 We present a theoretical analysis of Gaussian-binary restricted Boltzmann machines (GRBMs) from the perspective of density models. The key aspect of this analysis is to show that GRBMs can be formulated as a constrained mixture of Gaussians, which gives ...

Discriminating natural image statistics from neuronal population codes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The power law provides an efficient description of amplitude spectra of natural scenes. Psychophysical studies have shown that the forms of the amplitude spectra are clearly related to human visual performance, indicating that the statistical parameters ...

Contextual interactions in grating plaid configurations are explained by natural image statistics and neural modeling [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2016 Processing natural scenes requires the visual system to integrate local features into global object descriptions. To achieve coherent representations, the human brain uses statistical dependencies to guide weighting of local feature conjunctions ...

Predicting cortical dark/bright asymmetries from natural image statistics and early visual transforms. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 The nervous system has evolved in an environment with structure and predictability. One of the ubiquitous principles of sensory systems is the creation of circuits that capitalize on this predictability.

Relating natural image statistics to patterns of response covariability in macaque primary visual cortex [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsDetermining how the brain encodes sensory information requires understanding the structure of cortical activity, including how its variability is shared among neurons. The role of this covariability in cortical representations of natural visual inputs is

Thermal Image Restoration Based on LWIR Sensor Statistics
Sensors, 2021 An imaging system has natural statistics that reflect its intrinsic characteristics. For example, the gradient histogram of a visible light image generally obeys a heavy-tailed distribution, and its restoration considers natural statistics.
