5 . 10- 6 by volume); below (red), intensity of sensation, estimated by four subjects in ten trials each, as multiples of a standard intensity. From ECKMAN et a!. : Scand. J. Psycho!. 1, 177 (1967) experiment, a constant odor stimulus consisting of a certain concentration of hydrogen sulfide was presented. During the stimulus the subject was asked to estimate the intensity of the smell as a multiple of a standard odor intensity (ratio scale; cf. Fig. 1-6). Immediately after the odor stimulus was turned on, the subjects estimated a sensation intensity of 56.

Transformations of Stimuli in Receptors The adequate stimulus; classification of receptors. A receptor is a specialized nerve cell. It signals the states and/or changes of state in its vicinity to the CNS. The states of the surroundings, and their changes that affect the receptors are called stimuli. Stimuli are objectively measurable quantities, such as mechanical deformation of the skin, temperature, and electromagnetic radiation (light). Physiologic studies have revealed that each receptor responds especially readily to one stimulus type.

During stimulation (change in length of the associated muscle by LlL) a microelectrode in the soma records the receptor potential, which arises in the receptive region (the dendrites). As a generator potential, it triggers conducted action potentials in the excitable axon When a microelectrode penetrates the receptor cell the potential initially recorded, as in all nerve cells, is the resting potential ( - 80 m V in Fig.
