📣 We investigated a puzzling empirical result: adaptation induces a universal power law linking neural population responses and stimulus statistics. We explained the power law with an efficient coding model and interpreted its exponent as balancing energy saving and representation fidelity.

A universal power law optimizes energy and representation fidelity in visual adaptation

Sensory systems continuously adapt their responses based on the probability of encountering a given stimulus. In the mouse primary visual cortex (V1), the average population response is a power law of...
