Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Psychophysics is the study of the relationship between physical stimuli (such as light, sound, or touch) and the resulting sensory experiences (such as brightness, loudness, or pressure). This field examines how physical properties of a stimulus (like its intensity or frequency) impact the detection and discrimination thresholds of sensory systems.
