The impact on midlevel vision of statistically optimal divisive normalization in V1.

abstract：:We previously showed that different types of aberration defocus, coma, and secondary astigmatism affect reading performance via different mechanisms. In this paper, we show the contrary result that, for identification of isolated letters, the effects of rendering different types of aberration can be described by a sin...

Hence, finding good nonlinear models to characterize visual cells using natural stimuli is important. The Volterra model is an appealing ...
