The Relation of Physiological and Psychological Aspects of Sensory Intensity

  • Chapter
Principles of Receptor Physiology

Part of the book series: Handbook of Sensory Physiology ((SENSORY,volume 1))

Abstract

The magnitude of a perceived sensation is naturally dependent on the magnitude of stimulation to the corresponding sensory system. The mathematical form of that dependence can be determined experimentally. It will be shown that much of such experimental data can be explained in terms of certain elementary neuro-physiological models.
