However, they have been always treated as different approaches and have not been analytically related yet. In this work, we show that Divisive Normalization can be derived from the Wilson–Cowan dynamics. Specifically, assuming that Divisive Normalization is the steady state of the Wilson–Cowan differential equations, we find that the kernel that controls neural interactions in Divisive Normalization depends on the Wilson–Cowan kernel but also depends on the signal. A standard stability analysis of a Wilson–Cowan model with the parameters obtained from our relation shows that the Divisive Normalization solution is a stable node. This stability suggests the appropriateness of our steady state assumption. The proposed theory provides a mechanistic foundation for the suggestions that have been done on the need of signal-dependent Divisive Normalization in Coen-Cagli et al. (PLoS Comput Biol 8(3):e1002405, 2012). Moreover, this theory explains the modifications that had to be introduced ad hoc in Gaussian kernels of Divisive Normalization in Martinez-Garcia et al. (Front Neurosci 13:8, 2019) to reproduce contrast responses in V1 cortex. Finally, the derived relation implies that the Wilson–Cowan dynamics also reproduce visual masking and subjective image distortion, which up to now had been explained mainly via Divisive Normalization.This work was partially funded by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICIIN/FEDER/UE) projects PID2020-118071GB-I00 and PDC2021-121522-C21 and by the Generalitat Valenciana Grants GrisoliaP/2019/035 and CIPROM/2021/056.
