Sensory systems are the brain’s window to the world – they represent the organism’s surrounding in order to enable successful action. To instantiate such representations efficiently and accurately, the brain must adapt to the structure of natural environments. However, nothing in the natural world is completely static – environments change, animals‘ goals and demands fluctuate, and the two are coupled in a closed-loop – the surrounding can be affected by animal’s actions. In this talk I will discuss our theoretical attempts to understand how and why should sensory systems adapt to changing environments, varying internal states and dynamic behavior in natural environments.
