Figure Legend:
Variability with and without falloff. This plot shows some examples of the variability that can be expected in the posterior
distribution for a particular patch response at 15°. The blue bars show the probability mass of the posterior distribution
over contrasts estimated using only the contrast of the peripheral power spectrum. The red bars show the probability
mass of the posterior distribution over contrasts estimated using both the contrast and the falloff of the peripheral power
spectrum. (a) An example where the variability remains roughly constant, but conditioning on only the response contrast
introduces a significant bias in the posterior estimate of foveal response contrast. (b) An example where conditioning on
