Visual Contrast Adaptation

Visual Contrast Adaptation is a neurocomputational phenomenon in visual perception whereby the sensitivity of the visual system is adjusted to the prevailing levels of contrast in the environment, thereby altering the neural response gain to subsequent visual stimuli in order to optimize information processing under varying viewing conditions.
