Abstract

Psychoacoustics is commonly seen as the relationship between psychological perception data scaled in interval, ordinal, or nominal order, and a physical unit most often present in interval order. So e.g. pitch perception is related to frequency, loudness to sound pressure, or brightness to the spectral centroid. We may ask for the logic of this relation, is it necessarily or possibly so, always or sometimes, partial or complete.
