Delve into the complex correlational structure of natural stimuli and investigate which correlations humans are most sensitive to. Learn about local binary patterns, psychophysical experiments using synthetic textures, and how the variability of correlations in natural scenes predicts human sensitivity. Examine the relationship between image statistics and human perception, and discover how local correlations can distinguish objects and boundaries. Gain insights into channel coding problems and the broader class of informative gliders that produce salient patterns. Conclude with a thought-provoking question about potential blindness to informative structures in other imaging modalities.
