Answer
Fechner, regarded as the father of psychophysics, concentrated his experiments primarily on the sense of hearing. He sought to establish a precise relationship between the physical attributes of sound, such as intensity and pitch, and the resulting psychological experiences of loudness and pitch perception. Through meticulous experiments, Fechner aimed to understand how physical stimuli are transformed into sensations, laying the foundation for the quantitative study of sensory perception.
