Animal sensory systems are optimally adapted to those features typically encountered in natural surrounds, thus allowing neurons that have a limited bandwidth to encode almost impossibly large input ranges. Importantly, natural scenes are not random, and peripheral visual systems have therefore evolved to reduce the predictable redundancy. The vertebrate visual cortex is also optimally tuned to the spatial statistics of natural scenes, but much less is known about how the insect brain responds to these. We are redressing this deficiency using several techniques. Olga Dyakova uses exquisite image manipulation to give natural images unnatural image statistics, or vice versa. Marissa Holden then uses these images as stimuli in electrophysiological recordings of neurons in the fly optic lobes, to see how the brain codes for the statistics typically encountered in natural scenes, and Olga Dyakova measures the behavioral optomotor response on our trackball set-up.
