Our visual system continually adapts to its sensory environment. As a result, both the encoding accuracy of sensory information and perceptual behavior change according to the recent history of sensory input. Here we tested the hypothesis that adaptation to the recent history of sensory input optimally prepares the perceptual system for the future, i.e. establishes efficient sensory representations for the next expected sensory input. We first quantitatively characterized the changes in neural encoding accuracy induced by adaptation with a psychophysical discrimination experiment. We measu
