Abstract

The principal axes of a system can be defined as the directions of the input space that isolate the response of a single sensor of the system. In this work we show that if the current psychophysical and neurophysiological models of gain control are correct, the principal axes of the early image representation in the human brain wouldn't be the independent components of natural images but an arbitrary combination of them. We show that this combination depends on the input stimulus and may depend on the adaptation state.
