Center-surround processing (CSP) is a ubiquitous feature of the brain, starting from early sensory processing (e.g., context-dependent retinal encoding) to representing abstract concepts (e.g., context-dependent object representation), manifesting itself in both behavior and neural responses. CPS in neural responses is typically modeled using normalization models or in purely descriptive terms. However, a normative model that could enhance our understanding of the function of CSP and link these neural effects to behavior is still lacking. Here, we build on a recently developed normative model
