Why spatial frequency processing in the visual cortex? 1986

T Bossomaier, and A W Snyder

The nature of redundancy in visual images is discussed and the methods of removing statistical redundancies are considered. It is demonstrated that local spatial frequency analysis is a highly successful method and it is thus argued that this determines the choice of representation of the visual image by the simple cells of the visual cortex.
