| 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. ...

| 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.
