Constrained inference in sparse coding reproduces contextual effects and predicts laminar neural dynamics.

When probed with complex stimuli that extend beyond their classical receptive field, neurons in primary visual cortex display complex and non-linear response characteristics. Sparse coding models reproduce some of the observed contextual effects, but still fail to provide a satisfactory explanation...
