They generally encode local differences in space and changes in time rather than the raw image intensity. This can be seen as a strategy of predictive coding, (...). Yet animals encounter many environments with visual statistics different from the average scene. Here we show that when this happens, the retina adjusts its processing dynamically. The spatio-temporal receptive fields of retinal ganglion cells change after a few seconds in a new environment.
