Large retinal populations are collectively organized to efficiently process natural scenes

Sensory systems are adapted to efficiently process natural stimuli. Such adaptation has been particularly well documented in the retina. Theoretical and experimental studies have demonstrated that multiple properties of retinal coding and architecture -- from receptive field (RF) shapes to RF mosaic alignment -- are optimized for efficient sensory coding. These adaptations have been primarily studied in small regions of the retina, however stimulus statistics vary systematically across the entire visual field (VF). It therefore remains unknown whether the collective structure of large neural p
