Usage examples of intensity.

I found that with each mixture there was a time of exposure which would produce the deepest blue, that with over-exposure the blue gradually turned gray, and that if a curve should be plotted, the abscissas of which should represent the time of exposure, and the ordinates of which should represent the intensity of the blue the curves drawn would have approximately an elliptical form, so that if one knew the exact time of exposure which would give the best result with any mixture, one might deviate two or three minutes either way from that time without producing a noticeable result.

However, given that the frequency of regular beats is much lower than the frequency that neurons can fire at, it may not be absolutely necessary for neurons representing beats to fire at the exact millisecond the beat occurs: it may, for example, be sufficient to represent a beat by a short burst of firings, in which case the number of firings in the burst represents the perceived intensity of the beat.
