Sensory systems have been found to adapt their machinery to process natural signals efficiently. What are the statistical features in natural signals that could be driving neuronal adaptation? Our study demonstrates that neural coding of macaque primary visual cortex (area V1) neurons is adaptive to the scale-invariant long-term correlation in the signals. Power spectrum of such signals display...

Ganglion cells in the peripheral retina have lower density and larger receptive fields than in the fovea. Consequently, the visual signals relayed from the periphery have substantially lower resolution than those relayed by the fovea. The information contained in peripheral ganglion cell responses can be quantified by how well they predict the foveal ganglion cell responses to the same stimulus...

Existence of outflow intrusion introduces small-scale turbulence that perturbs the vertically stratified character of the sound velocity and causes spatial and temporal fluctuations of the sound propagation. In this experimental study, we have investigated acoustic wave propagation with frequency of 50 kHz in a pre-stratified environment with intrusion of a turbulent plume while the si...
