Contrast normalization contributes to a biologically-plausible model of receptive-field development in primary visual cortex (V1).

Neuronal populations in the primary visual cortex (V1) of mammals exhibit contrast normalization. Neurons that respond strongly to simple visual stimuli - such as sinusoidal gratings - respond less well to the same stimuli when they are presented as part of a more complex stimulus which also excites...
