| Weber-Cockayne syndrome | <syndrome> This represents a group of rare inherited disorders in which blistering of the skin occurs in response to skin trauma. Large fluid-filled blisters can occur in response to injury, skin rubbing, chafing or even increases in room temperature. Secondary bacterial infection of the blisters is common. Complications include oesophageal stricture, infections, loss of function of hands and feet and malnutrition. The dermatologist is the expert in the evaluation and treatment of this disorder.

| Weber-Fechner law | The intensity of a sensation varies by a series of equal increments (arithmetically) as the strength of the stimulus is increased geometrically; if a series of stimuli is applied and so adjusted in strength that each stimulus causes a just perceptible change in intensity of the sensation, then the strength of each stimulus differs from the preceding one by a constant fraction; thus, if a just perceptible change in a visual sensation is produced by the addition of 1 candle to an original illumination of 100 candles, 10 candles will be required to produce any change in sensation when the original illumination was one of 1000 candles. Synonym: Fechner-Weber law, Weber's law. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Weber's law |
Discovered by Ernest Heinrich Weber in 1834. States that the smallest detectable change (jnd) in intensity is a constant fraction of the level of stimulation. Georg Fechner turned Weber's law into a psychophysical logarithm of the magnitude of stimulation (I), or S = k log I. A great deal of psychophysical research has attempted to establish the Weber-Fechner law for sensory dimensions other than intensity, eg, frequency and duration in audition. ...

(Wb) Unit of magnetic flux. One weber is the amount of flux that when linked with a single turn of wire for an interval of one second will induce an electromotive force of one volt.

| Weber's law |
The thesis that perceptual systems respond in such a way so as to make the ratio between the minimum perceptible change in a physical magnitude and the absolute value of that magnitude a constant. For example, Weber's law predicts that smallest detectable intensity difference between two lights will be larger on a bright background than a dim one. This conclusion is approximately true for high light levels.
