WHAT DOES ABSOLUTE THRESHOLD MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Absolute threshold

In neuroscience and psychophysics, an absolute threshold is the lowest level of a stimulus —light, sound, touch, etc.—that an organism can detect. However, at this low level, subjects sometimes detect the stimulus and sometimes do not. Therefore, an alternative definition of absolute threshold is the lowest intensity at which a stimulus can be detected 50% of the time. The absolute threshold can be influenced by several different factors, such as the subject's motivations and expectations, cognitive processes, and whether the subject is adapted to the stimulus. The absolute threshold can be compared to the difference threshold, which is the measure of how different two stimuli must be for the subject to notice that they are not the same.
