On the psychophysical law: an information theory interpretation

V Siomopoulos. Percept Mot Skills. 1975 Feb.

Abstract

For more than a century Fechner's psychophysical law has been the subject of dispute and debate. Fechner based his law on Weber's indisputable observations and measurements. Yet, using these observations as a starting point, but measuring information instead of sensation, one may arrive at numerical laws quite different from Fechner's psychophysical law.
