The absolute threshold represents the minimum stimulus intensity required for detection, crucial in sensory systems.
The absolute threshold of a sensation is defined as the intensity of a stimulus that allows an organism to just barely detect it. It refers to the minimum amount of stimulus energy required for detection 50% of the time. For example, in a dark movie theater, the illumination change from a cell phone screen can be detected due to this threshold.
