[PDF][PDF] Does Norwich's Entropy Theory of Perception avoid the use of mechanisms, as required of an information-theoretic model of auditory primary-afferent firing

I Nizami - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008 - conforg.fr
Background: Norwich et al.'s Entropy Theory of Perception (1975-present) stipulates that (1)
the auditory receptor is uncertain about the stimulus' intensity,(2) the uncertainty is the …

[PDF][PDF] On the hazards of deriving sensory laws from first-order cybernetics: Norwich's Entropy Theory of Perception does not derive the Weber fraction for audition

L Nizami - Proceedings of the 13th World Multi-Conference on …, 2009 - iiis.org
The just-noticeable stimulus intensity change, ΔI at intensity I, corresponds to a sensation
change, ΔF at sensation F. An equation relating F to I was derived by Norwich et al. from “a …

Weighing the anchor in categorization of sound level

E Sagi, KH Norwich - Canadian Acoustics, 2002 - jcaa.caa-aca.ca
Categorization of sound level requires that the subject classify the intensity of stimulus tones
into appropriate response categories. Intensities are selected at random from a fixed …
