  bibo_abstract:
  - 'Information processing in the sensory periphery is shaped by natural stimulus
    statistics. In the periphery, a transmission bottleneck constrains performance;
    thus efficient coding implies that natural signal components with a predictably
    wider range should be compressed. In a different regime—when sampling limitations
    constrain performance—efficient coding implies that more resources should be allocated
    to informative features that are more variable. We propose that this regime is
    relevant for sensory cortex when it extracts complex features from limited numbers
    of sensory samples. To test this prediction, we use central visual processing
    as a model: we show that visual sensitivity for local multi-point spatial correlations,
    described by dozens of independently-measured parameters, can be quantitatively
    predicted from the structure of natural images. This suggests that efficient coding
    applies centrally, where it extends to higher-order sensory features and operates
    in a regime in which sensitivity increases with feature variability.@eng'
