Figure 1. Natural and artificial stimuli vary in correlation structure.

Figure 1

(A) Spatial correlation functions from four natural images (at higher resolution than the stimuli used in our experiments), in gray. Black line shows average correlation function over a large database of natural images. Although all images' correlation functions have the same general shape, there are clear differences between images. (B) Examples of the stimuli used in this work. Traces above frames show the spatial correlation function of each stimulus; traces below frames show the temporal correlation function. Stimuli were displayed at 30 Hz in alternating 10-minute blocks. Spatial scale bar (below white noise frame) for stimulus frames and spatial correlation functions is 400 µm; temporal scale bar for temporal correlation functions is Inline graphic.
