Abstract
Adaptation is a temporary change in the perception of visual stimuli caused by prior exposure to another stimulus. It has been observed in many stages and aspects of visual processing evidenced by perceptual-bias aftereffects as well as changes in sensitivity. Whether adaptation serves a functional purpose or it is merely a by-product of neural processing has remained an open question. For example, retinal light adaptation improves discrimination around the adapted luminance level. On the other hand, evidence has been mixed on various examples of cortical adaptation, such as contrast, orientation, motion. In this study we investigated whether a more recently discovered type of adaptation — face adaptation, acts as a beneficial process to improve face perception. We compared face discrimination thresholds across three adapting conditions: (1) same-face: where adapting and test faces were the same, (2) different-face: where adapting and test faces differed, and (3) baseline: where adapting stimulus was a blank.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
