Sponsorship: NIMH
This workshop, held in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts, brought together 31 participants to discuss current research on the relation between natural scene statistics and neural coding. Topics included: the measurement of statistical structure in natural images; the theoretical prediction of optimal encoding strategies based on such statistics; the comparison of neural response properties and/or perception to these optimal coding strategies; the effect of stimulus statistics on neural response properties or perception.
