Fechner’s Law Membrane Response V Subjective Intensity I Log S’o Log S V = A’ log (S/S’o) for the linear range S: Physical stimulus intensity S’o: Threshold stimulus intensity A’: Constant Log So Log S Fechner’s law: I = A log (S/So) for S > So I=0 for S < So S: Physical stimulus intensity So: Threshold stimulus intensity A: Constant
Weber’s Law I I Log So Log S S Fechner’s law: I = A log (S/So) Differentiate: I = A S/S S needed to get a fixed I: S = ( I/A) S Weber’s Law: S = K S where K = I/A S S

David Marr’s Concept of a Computational Theory for Understanding an Information Processing Task in the Brain We cannot understand how a bird flies by only studying its wings, but need, in addition, an aerodynamic theory of lift generation by the flow patterns around the wings. We cannot understand how a computer works by only studying the transistors on the circuit boards and their connections, but need, in addition, concepts of operating system, data structure, and application programs.
David Marr’s Concept of a Computational Theory for Understanding an Information Processing Task in the Brain Therefore, even if some day we had complete knowledge of every molecule in the brain, and could record the electrical activities of every cell at any time, we would still not understand how the brain processes information. We need, in addition, a computational theory which specifies how the electrical signals carried by a large number of neurons could act in concert to solve a certain perceptual problem.
