The paper investigates how adaptation to naturalistic textures affects neuronal responsivity and selectivity in macaque V1 and V2, finding that V2 shows specific adaptation dependent on higher-order texture statistics.

The paper tests for neuronal correlates of salience in macaque V1 and V2 using naturalistic textures and finds little evidence for pop-out responses but suggests adaptation can induce them in V2.

The paper shows that variability in macaque V1 neurons reflects probabilistic inference tuned to natural image statistics, explaining variance-mean relationships and spatial context modulation.
