The amount of information carried by light from our environment is practically unlimited. The amount of information that can be handled by the biological visual system, in contrast, is strictly limited by the amount of resources (neurons, energy and time) allocated to the system. Within these constraints, the visual system must perform its task of extracting the features most relevant for object recognition and movement planning. To perform the task successfully, the visual system needs to sacrifice the faithful coding of each point s light intensity. In early visual processing, this is done in (at least) two ways. Firstly, retinal neurons adapt to the local time-averaged luminance in their receptive field, and use most of their dynamic ran...
