Measuring the Soul : Psychophysics for Non-Psychophysicists.

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

Even in the age of Internet, when information and knowledge are just a click away, few probably know what is psychophysics and what is it for. Psychophysics can be romantically defined as the science that measures the soul, namely the sensory soul. Psychophysics estimates the sensibility and looks f...
