Psychophysics

Psychophysics is a scientific study that looks at how people sense and respond to stimuli like sound and light in their environment. It is used to measure how different intensities or amounts of sound or light affect how a person perceives them. For example, a scientist could measure how people perceive a sound that is very quiet versus one that is very loud. This study shows us how people's brains interpret information from the outside world.
