New Approach to DL Concept from Point of View of Information Theory
Vladimír Majerník · The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America · 1968
A new measure for difference limen (DL) using only the communication properties of the auditory system is proposed. By using this measure, one can also take into account the a priori probability distribution of acoustical signals. For the uniform a priori probability distribution of acoustical stimuli and in the case of Gaussian linkage between the points of signal and sensory space, this measure passes over to the usual measure for DL known in psychophysics.
