  2. Spectrum (physical sciences) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_(physical_sciences)

    In physics, the energy spectrum of a particle is the number of particles or intensity of a particle beam as a function of particle energy. Examples of techniques that produce an energy spectrum are alpha-particle spectroscopy , electron energy loss spectroscopy , and mass-analyzed ion-kinetic-energy spectrometry .

  3. Continuum (measurement) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_(measurement)

    In physics, for example, the space-time continuum model describes space and time as part of the same continuum rather than as separate entities. A spectrum in physics, such as the electromagnetic spectrum, is often termed as either continuous (with energy at all wavelengths) or discrete (energy at only certain wavelengths).

  4. Electromagnetic theories of consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_theories...

    The starting point for McFadden and Pockett's theory is the fact that every time a neuron fires to generate an action potential, and a postsynaptic potential in the next neuron down the line, it also generates a disturbance in the surrounding electromagnetic field.

  5. Psychophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychophysics

    Psychophysics quantitatively investigates the relationship between physical stimuli and the sensations and perceptions they produce. Psychophysics has been described as "the scientific study of the relation between stimulus and sensation" [1] or, more completely, as "the analysis of perceptual processes by studying the effect on a subject's experience or behaviour of systematically varying the ...

  6. Spectrum disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum_disorder

    A spectrum disorder is a disorder that includes a range of linked conditions, sometimes also extending to include singular symptoms and traits.The different elements of a spectrum either have a similar appearance or are thought to be caused by the same underlying mechanism.

  7. Spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrum

    The spectrum in a rainbow. A spectrum (pl.: spectra or spectrums) [1] is a condition that is not limited to a specific set of values but can vary, without gaps, across a continuum. The word spectrum was first used scientifically in optics to describe the rainbow of colors in visible light after passing through a prism.

  8. Spectrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrometer

    An XPS spectrometer. A spectrometer (/ s p ɛ k ˈ t r ɒ m ɪ t ər /) is a scientific instrument used to separate and measure spectral components of a physical phenomenon. Spectrometer is a broad term often used to describe instruments that measure a continuous variable of a phenomenon where the spectral components are somehow mixed.

  9. Psychoacoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoacoustics

    Psychoacoustics is the branch of psychophysics involving the scientific study of the perception of sound by the human auditory system.It is the branch of science studying the psychological responses associated with sound including noise, speech, and music.
