	Wilhelm Eduard Weber - LoveToKnow 1911
		WILHELM EDUARD WEBER (1804-1891), German physicist, was born at Wittenberg on the 24th of October 1804, and was a younger brother of Ernst Heinrich Weber, the author of Weber's Law (see below).
		Weber's name is especially known for his work on electrical measurement.
		He also carried on extensive researches in the theory of magnetism; and it is interesting that in connexion with his observations in terrestrial magnetism he not only employed an early form of mirror galvanometer, but also, about 1833, devised a system of electromagnetic telegraphy, by which a distance of some 9000 ft. was worked over.

		He was a professor at the Univ. of Leipzig (1821–71) and is known for his work on touch and for the formulation of Weber's law : that the increase in stimulus necessary to produce an increase in sensation is not fixed but depends on the strength of the preceding stimulus.
		With his brother Eduard Friedrich Weber (1806–71) he discovered the inhibitory power of the vagus nerve (1845).

	Weber (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Weber defined an electromagnetic unit for electric current which was applied to measurements of current made by the deflection of the magnetic needle of a galvanometer.
		Weber improved the tangent galvanometer invented by Hermann von Helmholtz and built an electrodynamometer suitable for studying the force produced by one electric current on another: when the same current passes through two concentric coils placed at right angles to each other, the resulting torque depends on the square of the current.
		Weber put forward in 1871 the view that atoms contain positive charges that are surrounded by rotating negative particles and that the application of an electric potential to a conductor causes the negative particles to migrate from one atom to another.

	Research Issues in Art, Design and Media
		Weber's work is generally recognised as being the foundation of experimental psychology and throughout his career he conducted a great many, often extremely uncomfortable, experiments exploring the anatomy and physiology of the senses.
		Weber had a broad interest in all aspects of sensation, but his experimental work in haptics tends to be most remembered.
		Weber's contribution, both to our knowledge of the senses and the experimental methodology employed in their study is considerable.

		He applied hydrodynamics to study blood circulation, and formulated Weber's law, relating response to stimulus.
		Weber's law (also known as the Weber–Fechner law) states that sensation is proportional to the logarithm of the stimulus.
		In 1825, with his brother Wilhelm Weber, he made the first experimental study of interference in sound.

		Ernst Heinrich Weber (1795-1878), was one of the first people to quantitatively study the human response to a physical stimulus.
		In one of his classic experiments, Weber gradually increased the weight that a blindfolded man was holding and asked him to respond when he first felt the increase.
		Weber found that the response was proportional to a relative increase in the weight.

		In furtherance of this scheme, Weber was taught to sing and play the piano almost as soon as he could speak, though he was unable to walk until he was four years old.In 1798 Michael Haydn taught him for free at Salzburg.
		No one doubted Webers innocence, but after a summary trial he and his father were ordered to quit the country, and on the 27th of February they began a new life at Mannheim.
		Weber resigned his office at Prague in September 1816, and on the 1st of December, Frederick Augustus, king of Saxony, appointed him kapellmeister at the German opera at Dresden.

		Ernst Heinrich Weber (1795-1878) was born in Wittenberg and educated at Leipzig, where he remained to serve as Professor of Anatomy from 1818 and of Physiology after 1840.
		Whereas Purkyne had shown the value of applying the experimental method to the phenomenology of sensation, Weber extended the approach beyond experimentation to quantification.
		In articulating the relationship which Fechner later termed "Weber's Law," Weber provided an existence proof for the possibility of establishing quantitative relationships between variations in physical and mental events.

		Weber found that it was not the absolute difference in weight that led to the discrimination, but the ratio of the JND to the standard weight.
		The result of Fechner's manipulation of Weber's law was the equation S = K log R in which S is the perceived magnitude of the sensation, K is a constant, and R is the physical magnitude of the stimulus.
		Lest the emphasis on Weber and Fechner give a false impression about the initiation of research in the field, one aspect, that of threshold measurement, had not waited for their work.

	Review Text
		Ernst Heinrich Weber and Gustav Fechner found that the larger the original intensity of a stimulus, the smaller the jnd of the stimulus.
		Basically the jnd is proportional to the original intensity, also known as the standard.
		Jnds are percentages known as Weber fractions, and they are the constant relation of the ration of standard and jnd.

		Weber determined that the just noticeable difference (jnd) for weight discrimination — that is, the minimum amount of difference between two weights necessary to tell them apart — was always an amount equal to 1/30th of the heavier of the weights being compared.
		Weber observed similar regularities for other kinds of sensory discriminations — though the specific fraction for the jnd differed for each sense.
		Weber suspected, though he did not prove, that a constant factor could be determined for all the other senses as well.

	We Didn't Start the Fire
		Ernst Heinrich Weber is known for coining the phrase, just noticeable difference (JND) that refers to the smallest perceptible difference between two sensations.
		Weber collected data in support of the general principle that a JND in the intensity of a sensation is a function of the change in the magnitude of a stimulus by a constant factor of its original magnitude.
		By linking these relationships to the nervous system, he helped establish the epistemological function of the nervous system in mediating the relationship between mind and the physical environment.
