Evidence for reciprocal antagonism between motion sensors tuned to coarse and fine features.

abstract：:The visual environment changes at multiple timescales. It has been recently demonstrated that visual adaptation is composed of multiple mechanisms operating at differing timescales to accommodate the environmental changes. However, whether multiple adaptation mechanisms correspond to different stages of visual process...
