Weber, in his study of the senses, tested muscular sensations and cutaneous senses through the two-point threshold and the barely perceptible difference. His research revealed that there could be no direct connection between our perception of a physical stimulus and the stimulus itself.

Fechner's work in Psychophysics brought together the work of Descartes and all the scientists whose work contributed to a mind-body upgrade
