Sensory adaptation mediates efficient and unambiguous encoding of natural stimuli by vestibular thalamocortical pathways
Sensory adaptation is widely considered to involve a trade-off between optimality and ambiguity. Here, the authors explored sensory adaptation to both naturalistic and artificial stimuli and found that, owing to contrast gain control, there is unambiguous optimized encoding of naturalistic stimuli.
