So many of us know that our eyes detect brightness on a logarithmic scale. Something that is twice as bright to us is in fact 2.51x as bright. So I was curious as to other senses for humans are logarithmic?
The reason I was wondering is because I was wondering about how accurate you really need to be when you measure ingredients when cooking. "Hmm, if I accidentally put twice as much salt as needed, will my food taste twice as salty?" :P I also know that we hear things on a logarithmic scale but I don't remember how it goes...
