An adapting transfer function for feature information is suggested by our previous work, in which outlier downweighting depended on the range of feature information available across the experiment (de Gardelle and Summerfield 2011).
How can an adapting interneuron contribute to added adaptation in excitatory neurons?
On the other hand, the name of an adapting face continued to be shown during adaptation in the study by Moradi et al. It is possible that continuous visual input during adaptation could have interfered with imagery, resulting in non-significant aftereffects.
Our results suggest that interference can severely compromise biological functions in an adapting population, which sets viability limits on adaptive evolution under linkage.
The stronger an adapting stimulus, the more likely it is that adaptation will occur at lower levels in the tree, temporarily blocking responses to all higher-level stimuli and receptors.
In explaining medium timescale adaptation phenomena we have focused on "repulsive" adaptation, where tuning curves are shifted away from an adapting stimulus.
