havaitsemiskynnyssarjat
Havaitsemiskynnyssarjat, or detection threshold series, are experimental designs used in psychophysics to investigate the range of stimulus intensities over which a particular sensory experience can be detected. Instead of focusing on a single threshold, these series explore how detection changes across a systematic progression of stimulus levels. This allows researchers to map out the nuances of perception, revealing not just the minimum intensity required for detection but also how sensitive the sensory system is to changes in stimulus strength.
Typically, a havtsemiskynnyssarja involves presenting stimuli of varying intensities, often in a randomized order, and asking
The shape of this psychometric function provides valuable information. A steep slope indicates a rapid increase
