Abstract

Modulations in population receptive field size induced by spatial frequency adaptation reveal a direct link between spatial tuning in the visual cortex and spatial frequency selectivity of neuronal populations.

Discussions

• Ecem Altan's excellent study showing that adaptation to spatial frequency modulates pRF estimates now published: doi.org/10.7554/eLif... I mostly enjoyed the novel review process - except that @elife. [bsky, 17 points, 1 comments]
