	Gustav Fechner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unfortunately, from the tenable theory that the intensity of a sensation increases by definite additions of stimulus, Fechner was led on to postulate a unit of sensation, so that any sensations might be regarded as composed of n units.
		Fechner also studied the still-mysterious perceptual illusion of Fechner color, whereby colors are seen in a moving pattern of fl and white..
		Fechner's position in reference to predecessors and contemporaries is not very sharply defined.

	Pioneers of Psychology [2001 Tour] - School of Education & Psychology
		Fechner believed that Weber's results meant that one could measure sensation as well as the sensory stimulus and state the relation between the two in the form of an equation.
		Fechner reasoned that it can be assumed that just noticeable differences, j.n.d.'s, as they came to be called, are equal through the range of the sense quality, that these j.n.d.' s are thus equal increments and measure sensation.
		Fechner established what he considered to be the absolute stimulus threshold or limen, the value of which the subject's sensing of the stimulus is just ready to appear, as that value of stimulus which marks the limit of a sensory continuum.

	Weber-Fechner law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ernst Heinrich Weber (1795-1878), was one of the first people to quantitatively study the human response to a physical stimulus.
		Gustav Theodor Fechner (1801-1887) later offered an elaborate theoretical interpretation of Weber's findings, which he called simply Weber's law, though his admirers made the law's name a hyphenate.
		Fechner believed that Weber had discovered the fundamental principle of mind/body interaction, a mathematical analog of the function Rene Descartes once assigned to the pineal gland.

	Mind, Brain, and the Experimental Psychology of Consciousness
		Fechner's aim in the Elemente was to establish an exact science of the functional relationship between physical and mental phenomena.
		Fechner may have set out to counter materialist metaphysics; but he was a well-trained, systematic experimentalist and a competent mathematician and the impact of his work on scientists such as Helmholtz, Ernst Mach, A.W. Volkmann, Delboeuf, and others was scientific rather than metaphysical.
		Experimental psychology, born with Fechner, nurtured by Helmholtz and Donders, was to be raised by Wundt.

		Fechner maintained that the Darwinian view contradicted the Principle of Tendency Toward Stability; and that we should therefore assume the genesis of inorganic conditions from the primordial organic conditions of the Earth.
		Fechner was a deeply religious scientist; a metaphysical poet of the Universe, committed to his 'mission' to restore God in a materialistic Universe of blind mechanical forces.
		Fechner was raised in the traditions of Romanticism and German idealism; in a great age of speculation, of wonder, of grand synthetic schemes to solve the mystery of the Universe.

		Committed to panpsychism, the notion that all nature is besouled (“beseelt”), and rejecting the Cartesian dualism of mind and body, Fechner adopted a dual-aspect monistic view of the relationship between the psychical and the physical.
		Fechner’s own contribution was to recognize that the just noticeable difference could be made the basic unit of measurement of the intensity of sensation.
		In developing psychophysics, Fechner had succeeded, at least to his own satisfaction, in specifying the functional relationship between the intensity of sensation, the psychophysical unity viewed from the mental side, and the intensity of the stimulus, the psychophysical unity viewed from the material side.

		Fechner protested violently, and the hassle that developed slowed down the recruiting efforts and generated so much confusion that by September 1935, there were only about 500,000 men located in 2,600 camps.
		While Fechner was still struggling with the changes required by the failure to meet the 600,000-strength figure, he was struck by another change in strategy that spelled disaster to him.
		The death of Fechner was a severe blow coming at a time when the war in Europe was emerging as the subject of greatest concern to Roosevelt and the Congress.

		Fechner did indeed make extraordinary contributions to empirical and measurable psychology; his Elements of Psychophysics is justly regarded as the first great text of psychometrics, and it fully deserves all the accolades psychologists from Wundt onward gave it.
		Fechner maintained, as one scholar summarized it, "that the whole universe is spiritual in character, the phenomenal world of physics being merely the external manifestation of this spiritual reality....
		Fechner himself explained that, "As our bodies belong to the greater and higher individual body of the earth, so our spirits belong to the greater and higher individual spirit of the earth, which comprises all the spirits of earthly creatures, very much as the earth-body comprises their bodies.

		Fechner carried a very humanistic viewpoint, which was in opposition to the currently accepted mechanistic view (Rosenzweig, 1987).
		On October 22, 1850, Fechner was lying in bed and realized that a connection between the mind and the body could be made through a relationship between mental sensation and material stimulus.

	Classics in the History of Psychology -- Introduction to Fechner (1860) by R. H. Wozniak
		Committed to panpsychism, the notion that all nature is besouled ("beseelt"), and rejecting the Cartesian dualism of mind and body, Fechner adopted a dual-aspect monistic view of the relationship between the psychical and the physical.[ 2 ]
		This insight, in effect, defined the psychophysical program; and for the next ten years Fechner devoted himself to developing measurement methods, gathering data on the psychophysics of lifted weights, visual brightnesses, and tactual and visual distances, and systematizing the mathematical principles underlying his work.
		In arriving at a unit of measurement, Fechner took the notion of a "just noticeable difference" from Weber's earlier experiments on lifted weights.[ 6 ] A just noticeable difference is the minimum reportable difference in intensity of sensation brought about by a minimal change in physical stimulus intensity.
